Hey School of Arts and Sciences Honors Program Students!
What a wonderful weekend! We had some brilliant weather, and it was nice enough to go for a stroll! I hope all of you took in the sunlight. Gotta get that Vitamin D (because many people on the East Coast are actually deficient). And oh, I can hear the birds chirping as I write this. Winter isn't over, but apparently spring has decided it didn't want to wait its turn, not that I'm complaining.
Now, onto the events.
Want to celebrate Black History Month with the SASHP? The SASHP will be hosting a special screening of Hidden Figures in the Brett Lounge, today, February 20 from 6 - 9 PM. Pizza and popcorn are on the house! And this event counts as an Honors Colloquium event, so come out to see a great movie with your friends!
Need to learn how to adult? Come to the Leadership and Experiential Learning (LEX) #ADULTING is HARD! How to Adult - Step 6 Event on Tuesday, February 21 at 7:30 PM in the Livingston Student Center Gathering Lounge.
How about delving into research? Come to the Tea with the Dean this Thursday at the SASHP Main Office at 35 College Ave to learn about applying to research programs. Meet with Professor Keeton, part of the Department of Physics and Faculty Director of the Aresty Research Center, to discuss applying to Aresty programs.
But maybe you're looking for some career advice? International Student Alumni will be speaking about their experiences in the American workplace at the Coffee House in the Livingston Student Center on Thursday, February 23 at 6 PM.
Also, the SASHP still has free tickets for the Rutgers Jazz Ensemble I playing on Friday, March 3 at 7:30 PM at the Nicholas Music Center.
The SASHP also has tickets for a trip to the Museum of Sex on Sunday, March 26. Get them now!
And that's all for this week, folks. See you next week!
Sincerely,
Nida Saeed

We also help our students acquire and hone the soft skills they need through our Entrepreneurship class, which culminates in a one-day startup fair with entrepreneurs from everywhere from London to NYC advising the students all day until they face off in a Shark Tank competition.
