Honors Freshman Seminar – Class Visit

The Honors Program at Newman University empowers high-achieving students to transform society.  Together, we build a strong community, hone our academic skills, learn more about our earth and the people on it, engage with the world outside Newman’s campus, and link current students with honors alums and future honors students.  Our graduates become active citizens, succeed in their careers and leave their world a little better than they found it.  Learn more at NewmanU.edu/Honors!

Registering to visit a class allows you to see for yourself what is expected of Honors students and if you can see yourself in this program!  You’ll have the opportunity to meet the Director of the Honors Program, Dr. Kelly McFall, and mingle with current Honors students while you play spectator to their Tuesday evening Freshman Honors Seminar class.  In this class, students participate in “Reacting to the Past”, which allows them to experience various periods in history via complex, role-playing games.  Intrigued yet?  Click here to learn more about “Reacting to the Past”!

On September 17 & 24, you’ll get to experience the Title IX game:

• What happens on campus when women athletes realize they’re not being treated equally? A debate over the role of athletics quickly expands to encompass demands that women’s sports and athletes receive more resources and opportunities. The result is a firestorm of controversy on and off campus. As students wrestle with questions of gender parity and the place of athletics in higher education, they learn about the implementation—and implications—of legal change in the United States.

You can expect a representative from the Honors Program to meet you outside the classroom to help welcome you in during a natural break in game play/discussion. Get excited for this insider look!
