Dear School of Arts and Sciences Honors Program Students,

There’s color everywhere. Leaves are falling to the ground. All we need is a Pumpkin King to nail this Halloween down. There’s pumpkins and candies, but also there’s fear, after all, registration has started for next year. But if in need of a something, to settle your nerves or revive an undead brain, here’s a few things that I’ve heard.

Need an escape? Well, come to our room! With riddles and puzzles to escape certain doom. And the first years have art, such wonderful things, showing at the First Year Exhibition “Beginnings.” Are you confused about your path? About which course you should take? Scroll on down to learn about some choices to make. If you find yourself bored, there’s still more to do: read below or give the SASHP blog a view. There’s an article this week all our staff did, sharing their favorite parts of this holiday gig.

Now as you all trick or treat, I hope you find scares, but do always remember: beware. Ghosts, goblins, and ghouls are all fine on your screens, but when seen in person they might just make you scream.

Many hauntings,
Kim Peterman
Student Director of Honors Media

Rutgers Enactus Popcorn for the People

Rutgers Enactus is promoting Popcorn for the People or P4P. Together, we are supporting employment in the autism community. Popcorn for the People is a nonprofit small business that was created in East Brunswick so that young adults on the autism spectrum could work and stay employed producing gourmet popcorn. This is a meaningful cause because unemployment in the autistic community is close to 90 percent. These individuals with high functioning autism and other developmental disabilities now have an employment opportunity, a chance to work producing and packing popcorn, working within a tight knit community and learning skills to develop so that they can continuously find opportunities.

We are seeking volunteers and are wondering if you would be interested in helping us to achieve our goals by raising awareness about P4P and its story. We are always looking for volunteers to help us sell popcorn at the RU Athletics games where P4P is a vendor. Find more information here.
