It has been a very busy week for EKU Honors!

One week ago, we kicked things off by welcoming our students back for another great semester. Students had the chance to meet new people, catch up with friends, and enjoy giant Jenga, croquet, board games, and the Nintendo Switch 2. HUGE thanks to all the faculty that generously brought their games for our students to enjoy!

EHA also hosted their first meeting of the semester. Thank you to all of the officers and members working to grow and better EKU Honors through service and social events. We are so excited to see everything that our Honors students will accomplish this semester!

Keep it up Colonels, and be on the lookout for more Honors events coming soon!
