Food for Thought Lunches
Honors Food for Thought lunches are held every Wednesday when classes are in session from 12:00 – 1:00 pm in the Faculty Center. All UNCG students and faculty are welcome to attend and join in the conversation. To help facilitate good conversation, light lunch is provided. The purpose of the Food for Thought series is to provide a forum for students and faculty to discuss important topics and issues as well as to promote civil intellectual discussion. Recent Food for Thought lunches have focused on sustainability on campus, blogging in Iran, contemporary opera, immigration to the Triad, selenium supplementation in Africa, favorite poems, remembering 9/11, and ghosts. Faculty or students interested in leading a discussion are encouraged to contact Dr. Sarah Krive (sakrive@uncg.edu; (336) 334-4734) in the LIHC office.
Honors Banquet
In the spring, students who are completing the International Honors Program, the Disciplinary Honors Program, or are receiving Full University Honors are invited to an Honors Banquet at which they receive certificates in recognition of their achievements. In addition, their achievements are noted on their official transcripts. Students who complete the Disciplinary Honors Program or Full University Honors also have the title of their Senior Honors Project recorded on their official transcripts. The Lichtin Family Scholarship is awarded at the Honors Banquet.
