Update on Submitting Your Civic Hours
Now that we have a new, updated website, we want to make sure you can still find the tools you need! Very soon we’ll be launching a web site devoted to your civic engagement requirement. Until then, you can still access our tool for submitting your civic hours online here. As always, contact Karen Hall for any questions!
Funniest Art Project EVER
I’m really not kidding. I don’t commit improper word construction for just anything.
ArtRage Gallery is dedicated to exhibiting issues of social and environmental justice through creative visual media. The gallery is holding an incredibly fun fundraiser on Saturday, October 26—a Cheap Art Auction where the creations of professional and amateur artists go up on the auction block. Cheap art auctions in Syracuse have a tradition of being raucous, ironic, and high-spirited events. Even if you don’t go home with art, you’ll have enjoyed the show.
The gallery needs volunteers on event day (for set up, clean up, auctioneer assistance, and more) as well as folks able to help with PR for the event and artist donation solicitations. And if you care to MAKE some art, that’s great too! Check future posts on the Honors Blog for information about art parties.
If you can’t help with the auction, check out the many other volunteer opportunities available here.
Do You Miss Your Dog?
Due to an overwhelming response, the van is full (over full, actually). I’ll post additional times as soon as I can set them up!
And Wishberry went to her forever home over the weekend! She has her own human to walk with now, but says she has many friends more than happy to walk.
If you do, why not volunteer at Helping Hounds in Dewitt, NY. On the bus line and easy to reach.
To become a volunteer at the rescue, you must attend an orientation session, and we have a special session set up for SU Honors students.
We’ll take you in the Honors van, Friday, September 13th. Come to the parking lot between Bowne Hall and Carnegie. We leave at 12:30.
We’ll return to campus at 2:30.
Sign up here, and if you can’t make it at this time, go to the sign up form and tell us when you could attend a session.

An Honors Marriage
Hello Honors Community,
This is a brief story we just had to share!
Meet Andrew Catauro ’06 (TRF/ITA) and Shannon (Grotzinger) Catauro ’07 (MAG/SOC) . Andrew and Shannon met in the Honors Program on their first day of class for PHI 107, completed what was then “General Honors”, and went on to get married! Andrew works on the acclaimed documentary POV for PBS and Shannon provides social services to homeless men in NYC. They stopped by the Honors Suite before the semester began and asked if we’d take their picture in 304C. They even remembered where they used to sit!
These are certainly the kinds of stories we love to hear from our alumni. Remember that if you have any interesting stories like this one, to let us know so we can share them!
