HONORS 101

Honors 101 is a student-led and student-run orientation program for incoming Honors Freshmen. Incoming students are grouped together and are paired with Honors Mentors, who are current upper-class Honors students, to form various small groups

.


Mentors serve as key points of contact during the new student's transition to AU and as a resource and guide for anything from study groups to the sights of DC.

New students meet their Honors Mentors, fellow group members, and the Honors staff at the New Honors Student Kick-Off, which is held on the Saturday before classes start in the fall. The New Honors Student Kick-Off does not replace the regular Welcome Week activities but rather provides a setting for the entire incoming Honors class to meet in the same place at the same time. Honors Mentors work hard to plan the Kick-Off. Get ready to experience the true spirit of AU, Honors-style!

In addition to the Kick-Off, Honors 101 incorporates activities, planned and run by the respective Honors Mentors for each group. Honors 101 groups meet on a regular basis for the fall semester to follow through with various transitional issues and to develop a cohesive Honors community.

An Honors 101 "class", HNRS 001, has been scheduled for Wednesday at 3:35 - 5:20 p.m. for the fall semester. Incoming Honors Freshmen will be registered for Honors 101 by their academic advisor along with their other classes. Honors 101 group activities will range from sessions on how to find an internship to finding the best cafe in DC!

Mentors were in your shoes once, so take full advantage of their expertise and guidance! There are no fees associated with Honors 101.

Should you have any questions, please call the Honors office at 202-885-6194 or email honors@american.edu.
