The Student Engagement Initiative is an effort to integrate conferences, lectures, symposia, colloquia, workshops, and other co-curricular events into targeted university curriculum. UVU hosts a growing number of superbly organized and high quality co-curricular events; and the initiative is an effort to encourage attendance and participation to the extent possible. We are developing a Student Engagement website with a designated page for each participating event. These pages will include, for example, event descriptions and schedules, biographical information, video recordings, readings, and other relevant information for curricular use. The Honors Program is thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with the Office of Engaged Learning and the Student Engagement Initiative.

These are photos from an older trip, it's true. I imagine I will be posting more photos from previous Honors Program trips as we do tend to revisit these places with the new students. Fall 2011, for example, I'll be taking another trip to Goblin Valley and Little Wild Horse Canyon and would like to include a visit to the San Rafael Swell archaeology site where last year's Honors students were able to intern. Please feel free to leave a comment if you're interested in joining us!
