Crossing the Finish Line
Watch out for upcoming events to keep up with your Honors points!
Welcome to your guide to getting involved! As we are approaching the end of the semester, there are a lot of things going on simultaneously, which could be overwhelming for many students, especially with exam week approaching, so make sure to get good rest and take the next couple of weeks lightly. I wish you all the best on your final exams! Each week, there will be an updated guide to students consisting of current events, scholarship opportunities, internships, and academic involvements. Every one of these is available to SF students and they’re all worth Honors Points. Look for a new edition of the Compass at the end of every week!
