We were just testing you
Didja miss us? Rarely, we may not have any news, but mostly if there's an interruption, it's because there's just no time/people to put out a newsletter, but it's not like we don't have awesome things for you to do or important events happening. When we don't publish a weekly newsletter, remember you can look for special events on suitable, check blackboard for resources you will need, or come into the office to check out the huge calendar behind the reception desk. We try to make sure that there's no excuse for missing out! You can always ask our staff at the reception desk in the Martinson Honors Suite for help finding where we post things.
Note: Sunday, March 8th at 2am, Daylight Savings begins. Do the clock thing and lose an hour of sleep. It's vicious.
Note 2: Spring Break next week, but we're still here if you need to stop by the office.
And as for the remnants of this week? Definitely check out the HSA section.

Honors Student Association
Join us for our fifth annual escape room! Gather some friends and step into TV-inspired mysteries filled with nostalgia, magic, and chaos. Unravel misadventures with the Peanuts gang, chase clues alongside Scooby Doo, or test your wits and magical abilities with Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. Pick your adventure and solve the puzzles before time runs out, or you'll find yourself trapped in the episode you entered. Sign up using the QR code or click here.
This past fall, the program hosted 10 Films Every Honors Student Should Watch. 10 professors pitched their favorite film, and you voted on the one you would most like to watch. (We showed it this past Thursday!) Now, it's your turn! Write a paragraph about a movie you feel honors faculty should watch, and submit it here: https://forms.gle/fxQoU4adbsLaD26NA
Shark Tank! Open to any and all Honors students, not just those in HSA (although we'd love for you to join us, GetInvolved: <https://getinvolved.siue.edu/organization/honors>) If you need help coming up with an idea, contact us via email (siuehsa@gmail.com) or on IG (@siuehsa).
