Honors College Special Events Committee Report

The Honors College Special Events Committee will plan large events for the entire campus and larger community hosted by the Honors College. The committee will be in charge of choosing and inviting guest lecturers, artists, and musicians to our campus. These students will manage a large budget and work closely with several departments on campus. Applicants should demonstrate ability to manage a budget, to plan large events, and to work well with a diverse group of people.
Please discuss any relevant experience or skills that would make you a good fit for this committee.
In High school, I enjoyed planning events and making them the best I can. However, making a successful event is something that a single individual can’t do. Thus, with the help
The special events committee has to make sure to choose lecturers that appeal to the majority of students, thus getting more people involved in all our activities and even convincing more people to become honors students. In addition, the responsibilities this committee has are important to strengthen the relationships between the Honors College and other campus departments.
The primary goals should be:
- Plan appealing events, while maintaining expenses in the given budget.
- Make the Honors College event’s even more prestigious.
- Strengthen the relationships between the honors college and other campus departments.
- Plan inclusive events for every community in our campus.
- Encourage more students to become honors.

The Service Committee will help increase the service of the Honors College. This includes developing new volunteer events for Ambassadors and the entire Honors College that benefit the larger Northwest Arkansas community. The committee will assist in planning and executing service opportunities for honors students. Applicants should demonstrate leadership skills and experience in both planning and taking part in
I believe that having honors students helping people in need is something very important. Throughout my life I was constantly involved in community service, in my country I was one of the founders of Interact club Concordia which has a true commitment of helping Bolivian kids get better education opportunities. In addition, I was president of my class during my junior and senior year of high school and I organized four major volunteering activities in which my whole class was involved, together we organized a picnic for 150 orphans during children’s day, visited a nursing home in Christmas, among other activities. I would gladly help this committee to plan and execute service opportunities.
Why is this committee important for the growth of the Honors College? What should be this committee's primary goals?
This committee is important because it demonstrates that honors students can excel at academics and also be service committed citizens. In addition, it can help honors students find their true passion. For instance, I realized that I want to dedicate my life to research in alternative energies while I was volunteering in a village and realized that indigenous kids drop school due to lack of electricity.
