Seniors, reconnect with your classmates to celebrate your upcoming graduation. Join the HC Senior Traditions Committee for this signature event where you'll look back on your personal postcard from the first-year Induction Ceremony, receive your HC Class of 2023 t-shirt (if you ordered one), and more!

The Honors College Alumni Society will be hosting a virtual Art Night for seniors. The Art Night will be guided by members of the Media Team to help you create a masterpiece—all skill levels welcome. Canvas and tissue paper kits will be sent to participants. All students will be expected to supply their own glue and brush for the various art projects.

In honor of trans awareness week, join us for a powerful conversation on the urgent state of transgender justice, from rising anti-trans legislation to the fight for healthcare and safety. Grounded in history, resilience, and community care, this talk offers tools for navigating political divides, using personal narrative to build bridges, and mobilizing for change—offering inspiration and strategy for anyone committed to equity and justice. Honors College students will receive two HC Serves hours for participating.

Coffeehouse is our “no judgment” performance zone. If you are willing to share your talent (music, spoken word, comedy, recitations, brief RED-Talks, showcase your visual art, favorite movie lines, or just about anything), we want to see you on our stage! Come out and support and enjoy performances by your HC peers! Snacks and drinks will be provided.

Come and hear from Rutgers’ first two Delta Scholars about their experience as a part of one of the nation’s most unique fellowship programs, in which participants work in the Mississippi Delta Region, as well as at Harvard University Law and T.H. Chan School of Public Health, to provide medical, legal, political, and economic access to residents of one of the nation’s most impoverished regions.    

Each year Rutgers Honors College is guaranteed one participant (a rising junior) in this pathbreaking and high-impact program. 

Join Dr. Yonaira Rivera, the 2026–27 Douglass Honors College Community (DHCC) Faculty Fellow, for an evening that's part inspiration, part career jumpstart. This event will start with a panel of professionals getting real about their journeys, including the moments when their paths veered wildly from what they imagined at 18. If you've ever felt behind because your major doesn't match your "plan," this is for you.
