This month will mark the last full month of the 2017-2018 academic
year before finals arrive in the month of May. In the month of April, Honors 1
resident have attended some unique events across campus and put on by the
Honors 1 LLC. On April 15, a group of Honors 1 residents attended a presentation by a UWM hosted historian on the topic of
hieroglyphics.
UWM hosted a historian that presented a lecture on hieroglyphics
and how they related to reality and fiction. Honors LLC residents that attended
this presentation were able to learn about a subject that they may have not
been exposed to in their lives. The historian was insightful and her lecture
was an interesting look into art and the past for LLC residents.
Within the week leading up to Earth Day, various residents
participated in volunteer opportunities provided by the City of Milwaukee and
UWM. Certain residents helped clean up the Milwaukee River located near
the Riverview Residence Hall. Other residents helped make Milwaukee a more
beautiful place by planting trees and flowers with varying organizations.
To end the month of April, the Honors 1 LLC took a trip
to the Mitchell Park Conservatory Domes. The Domes have been named a national
treasure and host exotic plants and artificial environments which teach the
general public about horticulture and the natural environment. The Domes are a
trademark of the city and are one of the many destinations every Milwaukee
resident needs to see at least once in their lifetime. This will be a great way
for residents to relax and spend time with one another before the final push of
the semester is needed in May.
