Our third-year students spent the day at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, a destination they selected themselves 🌿🌸 During their visit, they enjoyed a guided tour that offered a closer look at the gardens, followed by time to explore on their own and take in all the beauty around them.

From vibrant blooms to peaceful walking paths, the day was filled with curiosity, connection, and so many smiling faces 😊

Our second-year students celebrated May the 4th in the best way possible with a Star Wars movie night at West Cinema 🍕🎬The evening included pizza, a private screening, and a behind-the-scenes tour of the theater. Students got to see the original stage and visit the projection room where the films are brought to life.

From a unique look inside the theater to a fun night together, the Force was definitely with us for this one 🌟

Behind every great Peer Mentor is meaningful preparation 💙

Throughout the academic year, our Honors College Peer Mentors participated in monthly trainings led by Dr. Connell, exploring topics that support their growth both as students and as mentors.

A special thank you to Dr. Connell for thoughtfully leading these sessions and investing in our students. Also, thank you to our Peer Mentors for the time, care, and dedication you have shown all year. Your impact truly matters ✨

On Monday, we wrapped up the semester with our final Monday Night Honors and it was such a fun one! 🎲🧘‍♀️💙

Our Board Game & Destress Night was full of laughter, friendship bracelet making, games, great conversations, and plenty of pizza, wings, and snacks.

We also took time to recognize our Honors Leadership Academy participants, Peer Mentors, and Honors Council members for their hard work and leadership this year.
