What Is the Honors Club?

All students registered for the Honors Program are automatically welcomed into the Honors Club. The Honors Club is headed by an executive board consisting of four student officers and a faculty advisor.

The persons filling these positions this year are as follows:

President: Lisa Staub
Vice President:
Secretary:
Treasurer: Adam Barrows
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Stephen Mech

The Honors Club plans a variety of activities including Mohn Meetings, Albright Symposia, Honors trips, and service projects.

Mohn Meetings are scheduled as necessary throughout the year to conduct the business of the club. Their purpose is to inform club members of developments in the Program, to solicit feedback from club members on particular decisions that need to be made, and to elect officers in the spring.

Albright Symposia are planned and sponsored by the Honors Club several times a year. The entire college community is invited to attend a special presentation-usually made by a panel of students and faculty-on a particular topic. At the end of the presentation, there is a discussion period in which the audience is encouraged to participate. Following this, there is a special dinner for all those in attendance. Last year, the Honors Club sponsored two symposia. The topics were related to the September 11 events.

The Honors Club also plans one or two trips per year. Honors students enjoy the opportunity to spend a day in places like New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.

The Honors Club encourages its members to volunteer their time in service projects on campus and in the community. The Honors Chair coordinates the service efforts of members of the Honors Club.
