Each year the Hutton Honors College sponsors 40-50 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 astrophysicist Neta Bahcall; former U.S. State Department official Strobe Talbott; Pulitzer Prize-winner and former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Hass; philosopher Martha Nussbaum; photojournalist Peter Turnley; human rights scholar Allida Black; bioethicist John Arras; former U.S. and Canadian intelligence officers; neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky; British literary scholar Dame Gillian Beer; physicist and mathematician Sir Roger Penrose; award-winning filmmakers Angelo Pizzo (Hoosiers, Rudy), Christopher Quinn (God Grew Tired of Us) and Julie Dash (Daughters of the Dust, music videos); the casts of national touring companies of Rent and Evita; and others.

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.

Students attend the opera, theatre, ballet, and events at the IU Auditorium, often with a pre-performance discussion with a knowledgeable guest speaker or a post-performance conversation with performers. 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, the Bloomington Farmers Market, and Griffy Woods. 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, game and murder mystery nights, and...

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.
