Fall Trip: SciPort in Shreveport, September 10

David and I just signed the paperwork for the first Honors College trip of the 2011-12 academic year. We will take a busload (e.g., 23 passengers) to Shreveport's SciPort on Saturday, September 10, 2011. There we will take in their exhibits and later watch the IMax movie: Tornado Alley.

After we will visit Bossier City's Louisiana Boardwalk to shop and eat. We will be back late Saturday. Departure times and other details will be announced later.

So, watch your e-mail in September for more details. This will be a first come first serve event AFTER it is announced via your CAMPUS e-mail.

Drop by for a cuppa

Honors College now has a Keurig hot beverage machine that makes one-cup servings of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa. Drop by sometime and have a cup.

Let's Go to Cuba

 

Morro Castle across the entrance to Havana harbor.

The SAU Honors College is planning a trip to Cuba tentatively set for May 2012. Watch this space for announcements. Cost will be around $2000 per person although we expect to subsidize at least half of that cost through fund raising.

In the meantime, begin the process of getting your passport, if you don't already have one, so that you will be ready to go.

SAU course credit is a requirement for travel to Cuba at this time as only educational tour visitors are allowed into the country. Vamanos hermanos y hermanas.
