Honors Welcome Weekend


http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Last weekend, the Honors freshmen students, their dedicated sophomore Honors mentors and I held our annual Honors Orientation (recently renamed "Honors Welcome Weekend"). Not only was this a social gathering over a pasta dinner that the mentors and I cooked, but we also experienced some Kansas City culture - some of us attended the Greenlease Gallery exhibit opening on campus while others of us explored the Asian art at the Nelson-Atkins Museum - on Friday evening. Of course, this was followed by an obligatory trip to the self-serve frozen yogurt bar. On Saturday, we were all bused out to the Heartland Center where we participated in leadership and team-building exercises, including a low-ropes course and a GPS scavenger hunt. Pictured here are a groups participating in each. We were exhausted after it was all said and done, but we had a great time getting to know one another and working on our learning and leadership.
