Each year the Hutton Honors College sponsors 60-70 extracurricular
programs that contribute to the intellectual, cultural, and social
lives
of undergraduates at Indiana University. Each year scores of HHC
students, working with faculty and staff, propose program ideas, serve
as planners and hosts, provide publicity, or otherwise contribute to the
creation and presentation of the programs.
Gatherings, often over lunch or supper, give students occasions to
talk
informally with faculty, community leaders, and distinguished campus
visitors about political, social, economic, environmental, cultural,
and
personal issues and topics. Recent guests have included
- U.S. District Court Judge John E. Jones III (who presided

Workshops and other types of programming offer opportunities to
tackle
tough policy issues, from climate change to the way the United
States
chooses its presidential candidates to access to health care. Lab
walks/talks and discussion events provide opportunities to learn
about
the research of IU faculty and campus visitors.
Students attend the opera, theatre, ballet, and
events at the IU
Auditorium, often with a pre- or post-performance conversation with
a
renowned performer or knowledgeable guest speaker. There are events at
other special places, on-campus and off, including the Lilly
Library of
rare books and manuscripts, the internationally renowned IU Art
Museum,
backstage at the Musical Arts Center, and the Bloomington
Farmers
Market. Mixers at the Art Museum's coffeehouses match art, music,
coffee, and sweet treats from different times and places. There are
movie matinees, short story discussions, and game and murder mystery
nights.
Together with the many social, intellectual, and cultural opportunities
that Indiana University provides, Hutton Honors College extracurricular
activities provide a wide range of opportunities for undergraduates.
