Syracuse University Honors Program
December graduates and seniors who will be off campus in the spring are polishing up and turning in their Capstones. Robert Murray from the Sports Management program turned in his Capstone entitled “A Geographical Analysis of the Origin of National Football League Players and Draftees” yesterday. Congratulations to Robert and all our December Capstone finalists.
And come hear their Capstone presentations next Thursday, 12/12 in the Honors Suite beginning at 10am.
Hi Honors Community!
We’d like to introduce you to a new feature here at the Honors blog! We are calling it “Live from the Lounge” and we dreamed this up because we think that Honors students are amazing, and whenever we engage with you guys we come away either learning something new, or being really impressed. We also think this is a great way for you to get to know your fellow Honors students. Every one of you has something you care about, something that’s on your mind. We’ll be producing one of these every so often, so be on the lookout for Karen Hall in the Honors lounge with her iPad. She just might tap you to be our next “Live from the Lounge” subject!
Lastly, a HUGE thank you to Kathryn Ferentchak, who shares her thoughts on Juice magazine, Photography, and even wishes you a happy winter season, in which no particular holiday may or may not occur.

Hello Honors Community!
Here is a message from Honors student and JUMP (Juvenile Urban Multicultural Program) member, Jacob Friesen Grant:
Remember when you were a kid and school supply shopping was one of the highlights to the start of a new school year? You begged your caretaker to take you to the store with the coolest notebooks and gel pens. If you wish that all students could have this same experience, you can start by help supporting JUMPNation at SU as we host our annual Supply Drive initiative. Help equip local students in need with the tools they need to succeed.
You can drop off your donations in the Honors suite until November 22. Thank you for your help!
