For other interesting events on campus and around town, as well as scholarship and summer internship opportunities, check out the Honors Bulletin Board, updated daily.
Annual Honors Postcard Contest
You remember the Honors rule about going away, don't you? In case you forgot, here it is: "If you go to interesting, exotic places to do interesting, exotic things YOU MUST SEND US A POSTCARD --or we will never help you again." Pretty good rule, eh?
Many of you have heeded this rule and we now have several albums and a bulletin board full of pretty picture postcards. But we want more! Again we'll sweeten the deal and have a little fun by offering PRIZES. You send your postcards in, and at the end of the summer we will pick the best one(s) and give them valuable prizes. We'll look for the most interesting, the most beautiful, the most exotic, the farthest away, and of course the funniest, but ultimately we'll let the postcards themselves determine the categories for prizes (the first year, for example, we did not anticipate "ickiest" as a category, nor "least healthy").
Homebound? Don't despair: we've had great postcards from such exotic locales as Nebraska and the Soo!
Address to send the card:
University of Michigan Honors Program
1330 Mason Hall
Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1027
Keep those cards comin' in, folks!
Are you a budding photographer? New this year, we'd also love to see your best digital picture from your travels both near and far. Please send your favorite photo to honsummerphotos09@umich.edu. At the end of the summer, we hope to post all these photos to a page on the Honors website for all to enjoy. Photos will be included in the postcard contest, so send us your best shot!
Have a great summer!
Honors Advising during the Spring/Summer
Yes, the Honors office is open throughout the Spring and Summer terms! However, the only advisors who will be available at these times are Dr. Donna Wessel Walker, Dr. Scott Kassner, Dr. Elleanor Crown, and John Cantu. If you would like to schedule an appointment to meet with an advisor (in person or over the phone) please call 734-764-6274, or visit our website.
Please note that during the weeks of Summer Orientation (beginning in June and continuing through early August), Honors advising will only be available during late mornings and early afternoons and on Fridays.
