The "Outside the Lines" Art Show will be held on Monday, October 28 - Friday, November 1 at the ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Whatley Foyer. Some of the art pieces will be up in a silent auction held during the week. One hundred percent of the proceeds will be donated to organizations dedicated to the cause - bringing awareness to the struggles associated with mental illnesses, broadly defined: including anxiety, depression, and the autism spectrum and to show how art can be used for both therapeutic and expressive purposes in the crafting of personal identity. Come on out and enjoy the many impressive pieces and show your support! 

What would it feel like to sleep outside on a cold night with nothing but a blanket and a cardboard box for shelter? While most of us have never experienced it, homelessness is a reality for hundreds of thousands of Americans each day. A group of students at ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ is looking to raise awareness of the growing problem of hunger and homelessness by hosting an annual overnight event called One Night In A Cardboard Box.

For thirteen years in a row, Drs. Jim and Paula Archer have helped imbue Honors at ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ with a unique social dynamic.  Each one of those years has begun with a roundup at their ranch south of Pittsburg, and with a day trip to the DFW metroplex, thanks to the remarkable patronage of these endeavors by the Archers.

The ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Rodeo team hit the road this past weekend and traveled to Uvalde, Texas for the second rodeo of the season hosted by Southwest Texas Junior College.

Help me congratulate the winners of the Scare Affair candy donation competition. This is another record-breaking donation with a total of 4,480 pounds of candy! That’s truly amazing! Scare Affair would not be successful as it is each year without the dedication of ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Student Organizations/Clubs and the generosity of our campus and local communities.

Three students from the ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program recently volunteered with the Chapel Hill FFA at the Titus County fair for a livestock education session.

This is just one of many ways ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ students serve their community. PTA student, Jordan Molton, is pictured with a group of students.
