Honors Arkansas Retreat 2024

SAU's Honors College department members attended the sixth annual Honors Arkansas Retreat at Mt. Magazine State Park this past weekend. Members from various honors departments across Arkansas met to discuss the current state of honors, as well as goals and plans for Honors Arkansas in the future. 

Honors Arkansas plans to host a research class in the Spring of 2025 discussing various Health and Wellness topics. This research class will be available to attend virtually on Tuesdays from 5-6 pm.  

It was announced that there will be a virtual session on Perfectionism on September 4th at 4 pm, hosted by the Council on Honors Education (CoHE). There will also be a virtual panel discussion about the crisis in Sudan on October 22nd at 2 pm, which will be hosted by UAF. 

The SAU Honors department members use these annual retreats to gain a deeper outlook on all of Honors Arkansas and develop new ideas to implement into the Honors College at SAU.
