It all started with a vision for the Burrow... a space where Honors students could study, collaborate, present, gather, and belong. Funds raised through our Birds Give Back campaign will allow students to collaborate and learn in new ways. Your support helped make this technology possible, bringing a 75" TV with wireless presentation capabilities and audio equipment to the Burrow. Thank you for investing in the places where Honors students learn, connect, and create. The Burrow is better because of you!

We had an amazing evening celebrating the new semester with all of you at our Honors Welcome Picnic last week! Games were played, prizes were won, and friends were made. We are so thankful for our wonderful Honors community, and for the break in the rain! Keep your eye out for more events to come this semester as the fun continues!
