Geek Week at the Honors College

With the support of Rutgers Geek Week, the Honors College hosts an annual Geek Week event. This event, planned each year by the Undergraduate Intern for Traditions Initiatives, is part of an ongoing educational series that infuses faculty talks with games, social activities, and art exploration with an interdisciplinary discussion about pop culture. Previous themes include Barbie, Percy Jackson, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Marvel Comics, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Hunger Games, and Nintendo.
