Special Event

Join the Rutgers Honors College Traditions team for a community barbecue celebrate the year and kick off your summer!

Are You Ready for the Best Night Ever?

In honor of Barbie’s 65th celebration, and in collaboration with Student Centers and Activities for our annual Geek Week, we are hosting Barbie Night at the Honors College! In this interdisciplinary experience, we’ll have four guest faculty speakers presenting on topics surrounding Barbie—from linguistic breakdowns of monologues from the Barbie movie to Barbie’s history through the lens of a Black feminist.

International students (students with an F-1 or J-1 visa) and Gen HC participants are welcome to move in early. Plan to bring your own collapsible bins or large bags that are able to be easily carried, as there may be limited availability of moving bins and move-in volunteers.

Join your Changemaking Mentors and floormates for a Welcome Barbecue in the Courtyard!

All Honors College students and their families are invited to participate in a meet and greet with our Honors College network of support. Enjoy light refreshments while talking with students, staff, and faculty. Space will be on a first come, first served basis.

Join the Latinx Affinity Group at our celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month! We will be hearing from accomplished student leaders from different cultural, pre-professional organizations, including the Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting (ALPFA), Latinx Pre Law Society, Latino Student Council, Society of Hispanic Engineers, and more!

Are you ready for the first HC Coffeehouse of the year? Get together with your HC peers to perform or enjoy performances at this year's Fall-themed Coffeehouse on October 10th! Light refreshments and desserts will be provided. There will also be a raffle for a Jellycat plushie! 

Come learn about how you can have a growth mindset through speaking up, regardless of your faith identity. Plus, make your own ice-cream sandwiches at the end!
