- W248786964 abstract "Creating a thriving community is a challenge for any honors program or college, especially for a program in transition like the Honors College at Towson University. The Honors College has approximately nine hundred students out of about sixteen thousand undergraduate students, and within the past three years it has undergone major curricular and structural changes. To keep honors students and faculty connected and invested in their honors experience through this transition period, the Honors College has focused on establishing a tighter bond between faculty and students, one that is unique to the college and recognized by the university as a whole. In the fall of 2005, the Honors College Student Council (HCSC) was formed. Like any student organization, we have experienced the triumphs and pitfalls of becoming an established group in the honors and university communities. We continue to evolve from a small group of dedicated honors students to a fully developed organization that includes students, faculty, and staff. Even though anyone at the university can be a member and honors students are automatically considered members, the HCSC is currently operating with about thirty active student members who attend at least a couple of events and several meetings each semester. The purpose of the HCSC is to create community among the Honors College students and to connect students with faculty. While we host typical student events such as game nights, trips to local museums and attractions, community service projects, and fundraisers, we also facilitate faculty and student interaction in a manner that is unique to our organization at Towson University. Faculty and students connect on social, personal, and academic levels through the outlets of our Seminar Night and Jeopardy game. Seminar Night is held once a semester to provide students with information about upcoming honors seminars from the professors who will be teaching them. Because of the nature of these seminars and their varying topics, students often cannot get a good sense of the course content based on the university catalog description. At Seminar Night, each professor has time to summarize his or her course and its basic requirements. As a result, students are able to make informed decisions about course registration. Seminar Night is beneficial to students because it provides them information about upcoming courses, and it increases student-faculty interaction outside the classroom. Seminar Night allows students to feel more connected to their honors teachers, and vice versa, as they make initial contact with each other. Students gain a sense of what to expect in the courses they are considering by hearing about requirements directly from the professor. Seminar Night also gives faculty the opportunity to answer questions and receive feedback from the students. This preliminary dialogue about upcoming courses sparks student interest in subjects to be taught. Because of such conversation, students come to class at the beginning of the semester with a more personal connection to the subject that enhances the in-class experience. The most successful event that the HCSC has sponsored thus far was what we called Generation Jeopardy. This student vs. faculty trivia game consisted of questions about pop culture, academic subjects, and random facts from a variety of decades. Three students, including the two authors of this essay, generated the questions. Some of the questions and categories were as follows: Name the television show: Let's set sail on a three-hour tour; a Bond category with questions ranging from Set home run record in 2001 while with the San Francisco Giants to Electrostatic donations forming lattices; and a music category with songs downloaded onto a PowerPoint presentation where the players had to name the song title, artist, and more. …" @default.
