Programs and Events:
Each year the programs and events change as the community also changes. Programs and events of the past include:

• The Honors Community Cookout: Held after move-in during Welcome Weekend, this program provided incoming students with an opportunity to meet and interact with other Honors students, Honors Staff, Honors Faculty, Honors alumni, and Residence Hall Staff.
• Pizza with the Profs: Pizza party with faculty to learn about the research endeavors of the Honors College faculty. Students had the opportunity to interact with lead faculty and discuss opportunities to assist in their research projects.
• Faculty Spotlight Series: The Honors College provides students with the opportunity to meet and interact with faculty members from various disciplines across the University.
• Studying Abroad Fair: The Honors Study Abroad fair provided students with the information about the many opportunities for studying in other countries.
• Other past programs have included ice cream socials, political debates, students forums, and a number of other seasonal programs.

Freshman Honors Colloquium:
All Honors freshmen are required to enroll in Freshmen Honors Colloquium (FHC). FHC is a two-semester sequence which totals eight credity hours and takes the place of the regular College Writing sequence (ENG 11011 and ENG 21011). The FHC sequence is equivalent to two Honors experiences. The only exception to this requirement is for the student who has already completed a college-level freshman English sequence for credit at an institution of higher education. Advanced Placement Credit for ENG 11011 does not exempt a student from taking FHC.  Most sections of FHC are held in the Honors College Complex.

Requirements for admission:
In order to participate in the Honors College Living Learning Community, one must be admitted to the Honors College at Kent State University. For more information about the Honors College please visit: http://www.kent.edu/honors/
