This Week in Honors
Before you pack your bags and jet off home or on a new adventure, join us in celebrating Pi Day. Indulge in the baked goodness, and a few lucky scholars will have the opportunity to "pie" our deans (Sorry, Dean Coon!). It's the cherry on top of a well-deserved and delicious break.
