We have gone on ski, snowboarding, tubing trips, Haunted Houses, Ice Cream Parlour, Apple Orchards, Escape Rooms and many more.
Honors at Glasgow University
The Prentiss M Brown College Honors Program now offers a unique study abroad opportunity in conjunction with the University of Glasgow, Scotland. The University of Glasgow was founded in 1451 and is an internationally recognized institution with prestigious programs in the sciences and humanities.
Study Dinner & Desserts
This traditional Honors event is held on the last day of classes. It offers our Honors students an opportunity to defuse some of the stress surrounding finals by taking a study break with other students, feasting on delicious food & desserts along with enjoying good conversation.
First Year Retreat
This annual fall event for all first-year Honors students takes place on the first Saturday after classes begin. We have upper class Retreat Leaders that will answer any of your questions about the day to day here at Albion, explain how the Honors classes work, how FURSCA works, the Thesis process and anything else you might have a question on. Then we have fun by doing a high ropes, course, zip line, putt putt golf, hiking, canoeing, archery battle and many other fun activities. This is a great way for you to get to know all of the other new Honors students in the program and hopefully make some new friends.
