Red Birds Game! - Opening Week

The Red Birds game had a great turnout! HSC members loved meeting all the freshmen who came out to enjoy Memphis baseball!

Jacob loves baseball almost as much as he loves the Honors program!

Lemonade Stand! - Opening Week

The Honors Student Council lemonade stand was a huge success! We loved seeing all the freshmen moving into the their rooms and kicking off their college careers! Look how excited President Grace is!

Our Other Presisdent, T.K., and Council member Barrett were pumped about the Red Birds game we had that night, sponsored by the Honors Program!

Council members Maria and Grant filling up plenty of cups of lemonade!

President Grace takes a quick respite from the heat.

Our Honors graduate assistant, Jacob, Dr. Jones, director of the Honors program here at The U of M, and Grace enjoy the beautiful day.

There's Maria, hard at work to make sure the freshmen and their friends and families stay hydrated!
