HON 310: Impacting Community Through Arts-BasedCivic Engagement
HON 310 engages students in dynamic, innovative civic leadership and social responsibility. Guest speakers, local field trips, topical seminars, and arts experiences explore how arts-based activities impact a community in personal, social, economic, cultural, and environmental transformation. The class will meet at various sites on and off campus to meet with community leaders, learn about the community, and conduct hands-on service-learning projects in the Mount Pleasant area. Arts skills are appreciated, not required.
Satisfies 30 Honors service-learningcontact hours. / HON 321T: Games for the Greater Good
In a 2010 TED Talk, Jane McGonigal, Ph.D. of theInstitute of the Future issued a general challenge to use video games to solve some of the great problems of the world, such as hunger, poverty, and climate change.
This course will take up that challenge, but will extend it more broadly to consider the role of gaming more generally.
In addition to traditional scholarly reading, over the course of the semester students will play a variety of video games, board games, and role-playing games as texts for the class exploring how games can be applied to both study in the humanities and human sciences and to serving the greater good of society.

Q&A about Honors Contracts
Q: When are Honors Contracts Due?
A: Honors Contracts are to be submitted to the Honors Program Office no later than 5:00 p.m. onthe first Friday of the semester in which the work is to be completed. This early deadline allows the student an opportunity to make alternate plans in a timely fashion (such as enrolling in an Honors course) should the Honors Contract be denied. Students should plan to meet with the faculty member to outline the objectives of the Honors Contract during the semester prior to the semester in which the Honors Contract is desired.
Q: If I apply for an Honors Contract,will it automatically be approved?
A: Honors Contracts are granted only when enrolling in regular Honors courses is not possible during the current or future semestersand the student needs an Honors course to remain in good standing in the Honors Program.
