This semester we achieved milestones that left us with plenty of memories and inspiration to continue moving forward. More students have been engaged in Honors activities than ever before.
As the college grows, so do the bonds between the community. No doubt, Fall 2017 is one for the books.
Now here are seven moments this semester worth noting.
To start, the college welcomed a record number of students — 216 to be exact — at our fall 2017 induction ceremony.

We commemorated the continuing work of Former Honors Dean Dr. Karl Petruso. A plaque with his name on it was placed in front of our building.
In recognition of his service as Dean of the Honors College (2008-2016), we honored Dr. Karl Petruso today with a new plaque on the benches outside College Hall. Thank you, Dr. Petruso, for all you have done and continue to do for the Honors College! pic.twitter.com/ncvGZCspTB
