Engage
Want to connect with old friends or help a senior who's worried about what's next?
You've come to the right place to connect with us and our students –– past and present.
Check out the 2020 issue of A+ magazine, which confronts a challenging year head on, from the COVID-19 pandemic to national
social changes.
As always, A+ features honors students' research and projects — including a very 21st-century proposal
for rebuilding Paris' beloved Notre Dame cathedral. Ready for a bit of fun? Take a
road trip along Route 66 in Nicholas Broadbent's 1969 "hugger orange" Camaro and learn
how his work here on campus and in Germany prepared him to help develop autonomous
race cars at Stanford.

Honors College Mic
Ayana Gray
Wed., Oct. 27, 5:30 p.m. Short reception to follow.
Honors College alumna Ayana Gray is a rising star in the literary world. Her debut novel Beasts of Prey, the first in a trilogy snapped up by Penguin, is a pan-African inspired fantasy that follows two Black teenagers who strike a deal to enter a magical jungle and take down the monster that’s been menacing their city for close to a century.
House Concerts
The Honors College House Concerts series was launched when internationally acclaimed concert pianist Jura Margulis first encountered the Honors Student Lounge in Gearhart Hall and predicted that it would be a great space for enjoying music. He was right! The beautifully appointed room provides a comfortable setting for our intimate concerts.
