SAU Honors College

The SAU Honors College was founded in 2003 by Dr. David Rankin, president of SAU. Dr. Lynne Belcher served as founding director and is retired from SAU. The Honors College seeks and admits qualified students who seek to pursue a serious academic program with equally gifted peers and committed teachers. Honors classes are small and provide academically enriching opportunities for students and the faculty who teach them. Currently, SAU enrolls nearly 170 honors students and graduates about 66% of admitees in four years or less. Anyone interested in applying to the Honors College or seeking further information should contact the director, Dr. Edward P. Kardas at epkardas@saumag.edu or at 870 904-8897.

NASA trip

Dr. Kardas has told many of us about our wonderful Houston trip that we will be taking in the near future. We may be planning on this trip, but it's most likely not going to happen unless one of two things happen.

1) We each pay our share to go
OR
2) We fund raise like crazy and raise enough money to send ourselves to Houston.

Personally, I would like the latter to come about.
This trip will cost us anywhere in the neighborhood of 1,000-2,000 dollars. To some, this may seem to be a lot. In reality it's not to bad. Were looking into getting a first hand visit of NASA as well as hitting up some of the most fascinating museums.

So, I charge all of you honor students to go out and find some good fundraisers, and once you have some post them on here. During our Honor seminar classes we can vote on fundraisers or see about doing them. The sooner we start, the less we'll have to come up with ourselves in the end.
