Here are a few Robert E. Cook Honors College Summer Honors Program updates to keep you all informed as to what’s been happening in our office to prepare for the program in July:
*Website Updates*
The tentative itinerary has been updated. We will continue to update it in the coming weeks as we plan evening activities for arrival day, activities for the weekend of July 19-20, and the closing ceremony with brunch on Saturday, July 26. Parents are invited to this brunch celebration of the students’ accomplishments, as well.
The SHP Counselors link is now active! Check out who will be working with you this year and get to know the counselor or counselors in charge of your “major” class.
*Important Reminders*
Deposits ($100) and the three required forms (student expectations, guardian permission, and medical) are due by this Friday, June 13!
Note: Please do not overnight anything. Simply send it via normal post and inform Mara Iverson if your payment or forms will be a little late. It’s better than spending the additional money for fast postage.
Your balance (after deducting applicable scholarship and deposit amounts) is due by Monday, June 30.
Please send all flight arrangements to Mara via email as soon as possible. If you have not yet purchased plane tickets, please follow these simple guidelines
· Plan to arrive no later than 1pm on Sunday, July 13 to Pittsburgh International Airport
· Plan to depart no earlier than 6pm on Saturday, July 26 from Pittsburgh International
· Shuttles will take you to and from the airport, so we appreciate you making plans according to the above times to allow for efficient transport of all air travels to PIA (two hours away).
*Coming Soon*
We will be adding Core professors to the link for SHP professors. Be thinking about which Core unit you might like to take. We will explain Core and the unit selection process upon your arrival to the program.
We are designing a T-Shirt for SHP this year. All students will receive a T-shirt at no additional cost. We will update the website to begin the process of taking size orders by the end of the month.
A FAQ page is also being designed for the website. It will include things such as
· Are there washers and dryers in the residence hall available for student use, and how are they operated?
· Do students have roommates?
· How much spending money should students bring?
** Please email m.m.iverson@iup.edu with any suggested questions or leave a comment on this blog. The more questions you ask, the more the answers will benefit all students in the program.
