The Honors Executive Council organized another pandemic appropriate, socially-distanced event for Honors students. The Honors dorm has a couple of grills in the courtyard that we used to roast marshmellows to make smores. We also brought some lawn games like cornhole, jenga, and lawn golf. There may also have been some impromptu laser tag!
Picnic Pursuit
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to get creative with the activities we organize for Honors students. On March 5th, the Honors Executive Council set up a scavenger hunt that took students from UT, across the Hillsborough River, up the Riverwalk, and back across the Hillsborough River to Julian B. Lane Park where they were rewarded with Rice Krispies Treats and CapriSuns (and some prizes for the first teams to complete the scavenger hunt). In the park, the students could have a little picnic, relax, and chat for a bit.
To make sure the students completed the entire scavenger hunt, they had to take photos of themselves in various places and upload them to a Google form. Here are some of the more entertaining photos:
Community Service – Megan Darling
Honors student Megan Darling spent several hours arranging a donation to the Power to the Period campaign from dosomething.org. The service involved making a number of phone calls to make the necessary arrangements, purchasing a variety of products, and delivering the supplies to St. Matthew’s House. Below is a photo of Megan delivering the products.
