Honors Student Events

Honors student events are meant to connect Honors students with meaningful experiences and build relationships within the UHP community, the Pocatello community, and the professional world. Events fall under three categories: social, service, and professional development.
Social Events
Designed to foster community within the Honors Program, the social events provide a light-hearted atmosphere to meet and connect with fellow Honors students. Past examples are the Honors Mario Kart Tournament, Trivia Night, and Honors Valentine's Day Decorating Event.
Service Events
Geared towards helping members of the local community, the service events are an excellent time to build your connections in the Pocatello area and volunteer. Past examples are the Rake-a-Difference and Valentine's Day Cards for the Elderly, and many Honors students volunteer at the Idaho Food Bank next to campus.
Professional Development Events
Created to build your professional network, the professional development events are perfect for connecting with professionals in multiple fields and building your resume. Past examples are the On Common Ground Launch Party, the Honors Opportuni-Tea Fundraiser, and the Health Care Visiting Speaker Series.

Honor Program Event Requirement
We are continually defining what it means to be an Honors student in an ever evolving program. Part of this definition includes a strong sense of community service and involvement, in addition to a commitment to high academic standards.
As a means for ensuring good standing, Honors students (regardless of their program status) are expected to participate in at LEAST ONE Honors activity each semester of their undergraduate career at Idaho State University. Opportunities are available through First Year Seminars, University Honors Program Club, Honors Envoy, Honors Mentors, and various university entities.
