Dorm Life

Dorm life in Honors College has always been a fruitful experience. Students of all majors come together with a common goal of furthering their education here at Stout. Many of us in this picture-although with vastly different majors-had similar inter- ests, like video games, action films, and cooking family recipes. I remember being worried that I wouldn’t connect with anyone in the Honors dorms, but I’m glad I didn’t live anywhere else. Ev- eryone was so welcoming and friendly, but at the same time, we would make education and homework a priority. -EmilyWyland The first two Colloquia were dinners in the Student Center. Afterwards it was moved to Bowman Hall as more of a lecture series. After the lecture structure, it was moved to a discussion format inThe Ballrooms of the Student Center focused on common read- ings like it is today. Some other locations that hosted Col- loquium included the First Congregational Church (pictured to the right), the Mabel Tainter, the Johnson Fieldhouse Multi Purpose Room, and of course, the Memo- rial Student Center Great Hall where we have held it for the past couple of years. -Bob Horan The first “Honors office” was 140 Harvey Hall, next to Bob Horan’s office in the English & Philosophy Department. During the 1999-2000 Academic Year -when I was on sabbatical studying “hon- ors programs as learning communities” and the University Honors Program (UHP) was being directed by Alec Kirby and Jeff Dippman—the UHP office was moved to the basement of Harvey Hall in room 42.The UHP office relocated to the fourth floor of the library for the Fall 2009 semester. -Bob Horan Both images show events when the Honors College hosted lunches in the office. Students were invited to come together over free food to learn or further develop the community. Colloquium Honors Office
