Rothbaum Lecture and Reception

Dr. George T. Diaz delivered this year's Rothbaum Constitution Day lecture. Honors students met with him following the event for a reception in the Sterling L. Williams Foundation and Alumni Center.

Everyone smile!! We're about to sing "Happy Birthday" to Dr. Peters . . .

Welcome Dr. George T. Diaz to ECU!

Sorting Hat and Picnic

The first tribute of the evening.

All Eurekas praise the infamous chicken!

 Bow to the new Dao members.

 Orenda, it's your turn to create a clever saying to celebrate your victory!

 The small but strong Arete.

 LOOK AT OUR TROPHY!!! LOOK AT IT!!!!!

Honors Picnic and Sorting Hat Ceremonial--Tonight!

The Honors Director predicts: vuvuzelas, solemn words, scrolls, fortune reading, and an Indiana Jones hat.

You won't want to be late. Arete, Dao, Eureka, Orenda Houses are calling.
5:30 in the Wintersmith Pavilion east of the Lodge (not 6:00 like the Honors calendar says--who made that thing anyway?).

There will also be food and beverage. If you need a ride, e-mail the Honors center (honors@ecok.edu) to let us know!

Again: there will be vuvuzelas.
