Learning happens everywhere–inside and outside the classroom. To encourage your exploration , the University Honors Laureate graduation award includes engagement in ten Honors Events across five categories. Click the links in this list to see scheduled events in each category.

• Career, Professional, & Personal Development: This category of events will help UConn Honors students to care for themselves as they strive to meet their immediate and future goals while staying whole, healthy, and intellectually engaged.
• Honors Community Development: Events from this category are meant to foster a sense of community, identity, and engagement with UConn Honors for the mutual benefit of all involved.
• Academic & Interdisciplinary Engagement: These events support a student’s curricular endeavors by promoting intensive engagement out of the formal classroom with relevant learning; special attention is given to asking students to select events that align with a discipline apart from their primary academic home.
• Multiculturalism & Global Citizenship: Events in this category help UConn Honors students develop the skills – and desire – to engage stakeholders across borders, social identities, and cultural contexts. Recognition of common human dignity while celebrating the diversity of the human experience is a hallmark of an empathetic, contextually-attuned citizen-scholar.
• Social Change, Service, & Sustainability: Events in this category encourage Honors students to consider how they might leverage their talents, drive, and time to help improve communities beyond their personal sphere of influence.

You can attend these ten Honors events at any time during your Honors career, but you may find them most useful during your first year or two.

For each Honors event that you attend, you should submit a reflection in the UConn Honors HuskyCT course. Click the University Honors Laureate: Events module in HuskyCT for more information.
