Honors 1: Volunteering & Field Trips


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.
