[00:00:02.100]Welcome to Nebraska Honors.
[00:00:04.360]I'm Dr. Tamy Burnett, the Honors Assistant Director,
[00:00:07.560]for academic enhancement.
[00:00:09.540]Now that you're enrolled in fall classes,
[00:00:11.680]I wanted to touch base about your schedule.
[00:00:14.280]You should be in two Honors classes
[00:00:16.044]that are required of all new Honors students
[00:00:18.640]in their first semester.
[00:00:20.220]A three credit, 189H seminar and a one credit UHON 101H.
[00:00:28.090]The 189H seminars are always a favorite among our students.
[00:00:32.370]And as I'm sure you saw,
[00:00:33.630]there are a ton of exciting classes.
[00:00:36.210]These are small sections,
[00:00:37.526]and each class is only offered at one time.
[00:00:40.740]This means you might not end up with your first choice,
[00:00:43.560]but that's okay, every year students tell us
[00:00:46.500]how much they love discovering new ideas in their 189H.
[00:00:51.070]And I'm confident you'll also have a great experience.
[00:00:55.000]These classes are taught by excellent faculty
[00:00:57.300]who genuinely care about their students learning,
[00:01:00.171]and about having fun along the way.
[00:01:03.210]If you find that you need to make changes to your schedule,
[00:01:06.190]please consult your academic advisor before doing anything
[00:01:09.300]to make sure that the changes are in line
[00:01:11.170]with your degree requirements.
[00:01:13.120]If you need to make changes that affect your 189H,
[00:01:16.460]or 101H enrollment specifically,
[00:01:19.320]please also reach out to the Honors office
[00:01:21.240]before making any changes.
[00:01:23.460]We'd hate for you to give up your seat in one class
[00:01:26.230]before being assured that you can enroll in a different one.
[00:01:31.970]As you look ahead to this fall and beyond,
[00:01:34.610]you'll have the whole Honors team
[00:01:36.110]to serve as a resource for you.
[00:01:38.270]Whether you're looking to talk about academic plans,
[00:01:41.230]brainstorm experiential learning opportunities,
[00:01:44.010]or start thinking about your Honors senior project.
[00:01:47.230]We're here to help and to support you
[00:01:49.380]during your time at UNL.
[00:01:51.150]But we can't help you if we don't know you,
[00:01:53.410]so don't be afraid to say hello, introduce yourself
[00:01:56.860]or reach out with any questions.
[00:02:01.540]One of the most valuable parts of your time
[00:02:03.530]in the Honors Program will undoubtedly be
[00:02:05.870]the community of hard working, motivated
[00:02:08.700]and academically focused students you'll find here.
[00:02:11.810]There are so many ways to get involved
[00:02:13.610]with the Honors community.
[00:02:15.130]You might be planning to live
[00:02:16.460]in the Honors residence hall, Knoll,
[00:02:18.860]but even if you're not as an Honors' student,
[00:02:21.370]you'll have 24 seven access to the common area in Knoll.
[00:02:25.150]for studying, attending Honors classes,
[00:02:27.820]seeking Honors advising,
[00:02:29.950]and participating in Honors activities.
[00:02:32.650]We have a range of events from guest speakers
[00:02:35.530]and professional development workshops to social activities,
[00:02:39.220]like monthly game nights and our annual pancake feed
[00:02:42.530]to wellness activities like Wednesday night yoga sessions.
[00:02:48.090]We also have four student organizations,
[00:02:50.600]in which you can hone your leadership skills,
[00:02:53.420]HPSAB or the Honors Program Student Advisory Board,
[00:02:57.680]plans social events and activities
[00:02:59.680]and offer feedback to the Honors Program leadership.
[00:03:02.740]The Honors ambassadors help with outreach
[00:03:05.140]to prospective students and families.
[00:03:07.590]The Honors peer mentors and peer mentor leaders,
[00:03:10.300]work with our new students in their first semester
[00:03:12.760]through the UHON 101H class,
[00:03:15.190]and our after school club coaches
[00:03:17.830]help current honor students who are creating
[00:03:20.530]and delivering fun clubs to public schools around Lincoln.
[00:03:26.810]At Nebraska Honors, you'll also have the chance
[00:03:29.620]to get involved in tons
[00:03:30.687]of hands-on experiential learning opportunities.
[00:03:34.510]You might participate in one of our Global Dialogues,
[00:03:37.550]which are on our specific education abroad programs.
[00:03:40.860]We annually offer opportunities to study
[00:03:43.300]in places like Poland, Ecuador and Canada.
[00:03:46.830]You might gain valuable professional experience
[00:03:49.050]through an Honors internship,
[00:03:50.910]working with a community partner like Nebraska Appleseed,
[00:03:54.140]or as an Honors hometown intern during a summer break,
[00:03:57.670]or you might develop curriculum related to your major
[00:04:00.840]to share with students in Lincoln
[00:04:02.630]by leading an Honors after school club.
[00:04:06.220]You might even participate,
[00:04:07.750]in our upper level experiential tracks.
[00:04:10.320]The Honors tracks offer an opportunity to focus your third
[00:04:13.970]and fourth year honors requirements around a theme.
[00:04:17.310]This year, we are piloting three themes with current juniors
[00:04:21.300]civic leadership, global leadership,
[00:04:24.050]and environmental stewardship.
[00:04:26.110]With even more themes planned for next year,
[00:04:28.550]including opportunities for students
[00:04:30.510]who plan to attend graduate school,
[00:04:32.590]or for those entering a health care profession,
[00:04:35.190]you'll find no shortage of ways to maximize
[00:04:37.820]your college experience through Nebraska Honors.
[00:04:48.370]As you can see, Nebraska Honors
[00:04:50.550]is so much more than just an academic program.
[00:04:53.480]Four years from now, as you prepare to graduate
[00:04:56.100]from the Honors Program, you'll do so armed with knowledge
[00:04:59.530]and critical thinking skills gained in our unique seminars,
[00:05:03.170]with friendships with fellow students
[00:05:05.130]and connections with faculty,

[00:05:09.820]and with skills cultivated through hands on experiences
[00:05:13.170]to prepare you for whatever comes next.
