This is for all our new first year students and new transfers!
We have a great opportunity for you!
You can choose to live on an Honors Affinity Floor. What does that mean?
- Most of your floormates and your roommate will be an Honors Student.
- Your Resident Advisor is the amazing Jeremy Harmon, who is also the Honors President of Mentoring. We may be biased, but we think he is the absolute best!
-You will have access to some special opportunities and programming that are aligned to parts of our Honors mission, specifically creating connection, inclusivity and community.
-You will have voice on the floor to make decisions and craft the experience together with your other Honors floormates.
-You will have a special Honors lounge on your floor.
-The Honors wider community is made up of over 170 truly awesome students and more opportunities than I can easily fit in this message. We are known for our community and students supporting students. This will be even deeper on your floor.

We hope you will consider choosing Honors Affinity Housing, which will be located on the first floor of Kistler Hall. Please know there are limited spaces. Please respond timely.
