Honors Lunch Forum: Fall 2026
Kaitlyn Hawker
Editor-in-Chief
Fall semester is here, and so are the semester’s Honors Lunches! We’ve got some interesting new topics, new faculty discussion leaders, and a new location. This year, our Lunches will take place in the Fireside Room in the Library (#102) from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. I look forward to our discussions this semester!
