Central to the Honors Program’s mission and vision is creating an enriching community within the program. One of the ways we do this is through our events and programming. The program hosts social, educational, and celebratory events throughout the academic year that are aimed at fostering connections and building community.

Some of our re-occurring annual events are our End of the Year Celebration and Commendation Ceremony. 

We also host varying social and educational events throughout each semester. Some of our past social events include a Farmers Market Meet-Up, Snacks and Studying, Bingo, Paint Alongs, Movie Nights, Concert Meet-Ups, Resume/CV workshops, and more.

We love hearing ideas from students! If you have an idea for an event we would love to help to bring it to fruition. Please reach out to our Student Engagement Coordinator madison-kramer@uiowa.edu.
