'TIS THE SEASON

As we approach fall graduation and winter break, I am reflecting on all the wonderful things we have experienced this semester at the Burnett Honors College. Our Scholars continue to be very engaged with the programs and activities the BHC offers while maintaining their sharp focus on academics. With each conversation I have with our amazing Scholars, I am filled with gratitude that I have the opportunity to interact with tomorrow’s leaders.

It brings me so much joy to be a part of BHC’s thriving community. And I am thankful for the generous donors who support our Scholars. As Giving Tuesday approaches and you contemplate your year-end charitable donations, I invite you to make a gift to the BHC. Your support will help strengthen our community of Scholars through events, experiences, and programs, creating bonds of friendship that last a lifetime.

Best wishes for a fantastic holiday season and a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year!✨
