Honors 1: 5ks and Planetariums

The month of October was eventful for the Honors 1 LLC. Members of the LLC participated and were organizers of various events throughout the month. Members of the LLC attended such events as the annual UWM Panther Prowl 5k run/walk and a show at the UWM planetarium. Also, various LLC members helped organize various events through their roles in University Housing.

The events attended by the LLC this monthsupported the UWM student community and the surrounding Milwaukee community.The annual 5k Panther Prowl raises money for student scholarships and hosted approximately 1,500 participants this year. The UWM Honors College hosted a team for the run which allowed Honors 1 residents and Honors faculty to come together for a greater cause outside of the classroom. Even though it was a chilly and rainy Saturday morning, residents fought the elements and their sleep schedules to support the event.

The “Moons and Myths” Planetarium show was a great experience in order for residents to utilize a sometimes forgotten resource on campus. The show not only hosted UWM students but was also open to the general public of Milwaukee. Honors 1 residents in attendance enjoyed learning about space in an interactive and unique environment from the director of the UWM planetarium herself.


This month also hosted a variety of events planned through University Housing. A handful of Honors 1 residents are members of Sandburg West Activities Team which implements events for residents living in Sandburg. Events were planned throughout the month with spooky and festive fall themes such as pumpkin decorating, a Halloween dance, and a haunted woods. All of these events were well attended by Sandburg residents which attests to the effort put into planning the events by Honors 1 residents. All in all, this month was packed full of fall activity on campus. The residents of the Honors 1 LLC put forth great effort in supporting and being leaders of these campus activities.
