Special Thanks!
We wish to express our thanks to all the students and faculty who
contributed to Hutton Honors College extracurricular programming events
in 2008-09. We are grateful for the time, effort, and good spirit so
many student volunteers dedicated to help plan and host events,
including lunches and suppers with IU faculty and distinguished campus
visitors. From the fall Art Museum coffeehouses to "What's for
Dinner?
The Personal & Political Implications of Your Food Choices" to the
spring fireside chat with University Chancellor Kenneth R. R. Gros
Louis
to the evening at the Big Band Extravaganza with Living Jazz Legend
David Baker, students created many memorable events. Among the most
ambitious undertaken this past year was a series of programs dedicated
to the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth. Aasiya Mirza and
other
members of the new student group ABE at IU proposed, planned, and
hosted an intervarsity Lincoln-Douglas debate competition that
included
participants from schools in Indiana and Illinois; a discussion panel
on
the expansion of presidential power featuring Charlie Savage,
a Pulitzer
Prize-winning journalist from The New York Times, and history and
IU law
professor Michael Grossberg; and a Happy Birthday, Abe!
party
that
featured a musical skit depicting key scenes in Abraham Lincoln's life,
"pin the beard on Abraham Lincoln," Lincoln trivia, a recitation of the
Gettysburg Address, and a birthday cake with a lot of candles (although
not 200!).
We were also grateful to be able to partner with the following student
groups for a discussion lunch with community activist Ava
Hernandez:
Latinos Unidos, La Casa, STAND (Becky Burns and Emily
Roberts), the
Trockman Microfinance Initiative (Billy Bennet), and Y'ALL
(Lisa Davoust
and Haley Turow); with Nathan Bower-Bir of Volunteers in
Sustainability,
who organized a discussion supper with IU's new director of
sustainability, Bill Brown; with the coordinators of the Succinct
Saga
Society, Kendal Herget and Jennifer Lakes; with Labyrinth
co-facilitators Adam Ramey and Haley Waltman; with the
Honors Film Club
organizers Erin Fenton and Elizabeth Schlemmer; with
Honors Student
Association leaders Alyssa Faughn and Caitlin Masters;
with Honors
Council Association leaders Elizabeth Bercovitz and Jennifer
Noeth; and
with Natsuki Atagi, Andrew Harbor, and other students from
the Asian
American Association, who delighted so many by teaching them origami. We
also want to say a special thanks to other campus units that contributed
exceptional opportunities for IU undergraduates, including Cardinal
Stage Company; the Center on American and Global Security;
the Center
for the Study of Global Change; Central Eurasian Studies; the
College
Arts and Humanities Institute; the Department of English; the
Medieval
Studies Institute; the Renaissance Studies Program; the
Department of
Theatre and Drama; the Institute for Advanced Study; the
IU Art Museum;
the IU Auditorium; the School of Journalism; the
Konopinski Lecture
Committee in the Department of Physics; La Casa; the
Lotus World Music
Festival; the Musical Arts Center and the Jacobs School of
Music;
the
Patten Foundation; and the Poynter Center for the Study of
Ethics and
American Institutions and the Vandivier Sims Memorial
Lectureship.
An extra-special thanks goes to the student, faculty, and staff members
of the 2008-09 HHC Extracurricular Programs
Planning Committee for their
leadership throughout the year and their stimulating contributions to
this past year's programming. Students serving on the 2008-09 committee
were Amy Andreas, international studies and political science;
Natsuki
Atagi, psychology and gender studies; Andrew Harbor,
cognitive
science
and linguistics; Kendal Herget, psychology and biology;
Christian Hines,
English and political science; Alex Kopytko, telecommunications;
and
Sarah Taylor, music performance (voice) and art history.
Congratulations and thanks, too, to all the HHC students who contributed
to extracurricular programming in their residences and through campus
and international organizations.
We appreciate all your hard work!
Sincerely,
