events
The Honors College plans events throughout the year especially designed for Honors students. Together with the Honors Student Association (HSA) we offer programs including everything from lecture series and community service projects to beach trips and yoga classes. You can contact the Honors College Assistant Director for Student Services, Jill Conway (conwayj@cofc.edu) if you have questions about any of our events. We hope you can attend them all!
