Honors Housing
LaFerla Hall is home to the honors floor on campus. The hall is equipped with study rooms, lounges, microwaves, and TVs. If you’re a culinary fan, the first-floor lounge with its full kitchen is the place for you. LaFerla also includes free laundry, pool tables, and a multipurpose space.
The Honors House
Honors students can also take advantage of the Honors House, located at 603 N. Henderson Avenue, as their own clubhouse. Here, students can study, use the computer lab and printer, make use of the kitchen, watch movies, and play wide array of board games! This is also where the Jane Stephens Honors Program office is located. It is a great place to study, hang out, and meet other Honors students.
Golden Owl Program
Earn points for activities to get your Golden Owls
Once you receive 20 points, you get a large owl with your name put on the fireplace at the Honors House. With every ten points you receive after that, you will receive a smaller owl to go under your big owl.
The top three people with the most owls will be posted on the Honors Facebook page weekly.
Attendance at the Honors House
