Honors Update
Just like the compass, we’ve got so much going on in even just the next few days. Today is the absolute last day to apply to graduate with Honors, High Honors, or Highest Honors. Even if you aren’t sure of how many points you’ll have or you’re planning to wrap up earning your points this term, we still need you to apply now. You can feel free to estimate the number and let us know you’re still working on things, but we want to make sure to include you in the list of graduates for transcript processing, awarding medallions, and recognizing you at the graduation ceremony. And, if you’re looking for ways to add up some additional points and make the most out of your time this semester, we’ve got some excellent opportunities to make that happen.
