Pump You Up!--Chris

Physical Activity and Relaxation is a group in
which we will try and get an hour of physical
activity in each week. Sometimes during the week
we find ourselves overwhelmed with work and
stressed out, papers and studying for exams
build up and we have no time to go to the rec
even though we really want to. Physical Fitness
and Relaxation will take care of this problem.
We will do an hour of physical activity/
relaxation exercises each week to relieve stress
and have fun!!!

Religious Studies

Thursdays @

Honors House |
We will be taking topics of interest to college

Then we will take the topics and make them
applicable to society today and how they impact
our lives.

Music and society focuses on the development of
a greater appreciation of music through active
listening and analysis. Activities include:
album and artist active listening sessions and
discussions, lyric structure and writing
workshops, relaxation through music,
experimentation with the “Mozart Effect” (i.e.
can it help with thinking, reading, and
homework?), music history, and music in culture.

Access the World
– Mike Mehrazar – |
Tuesdays @ 2:00
Honors House |
The United States is part of a global community
of integrated economics, culture, and politics.
In order to participate in this community
responsibly and humanely, it is essential that
Americans be aware of international conflicts
and issues in which they participate and
influence. Access the World is meant to engage
the Lock Haven Community and Honors Program in
learning and questioning international issues
and relationships through discussion and active
listening.

Wednesdays @

Honors House |
If you have any interest at all in photography,
this group is for you! Oh Snap! attempts to
demystify the world of digital photography by
engaging honors students in a 15 week hands-on
workshop. Materials, techniques, and basic
elements of photographing and photo editing will
be examined. Elements of art, such as shape,
lines, perspective, color, texture, etc. will
also be discussed. Participants of this group
will take photos, edit photos, and participate
in critiques of their work and the creations of
others. You don’t need a fancy digital SLR
camera to join; any digital camera will suffice.
Most importantly, this group will be geared
towards helping YOU learn how to take good
photos. As such, the activities will be
structured around your interest and skill level.
So are you ready to take some awesome photos?

What’s News? -
Joe
Stender – |
Thursdays
@ 12:30
Honors House |
In “What’s News?” students will have the
opportunity to learn about the news industry, by
learning the skill of news writing and could
have the opportunity to go out in the field and
write their own story. The stories that are

published in the Eagle Eye, the LHU student
newspaper.

The Occasional
Word
-
Rachael Nines – |
Thursdays
@ 1:30
Honors House
OW Online |
We are hoping to turn the Occasional Word
newsletter into a regular, more readable piece
of University Honor’s literature. In the
attempt to motivate more students to actively
engage, I thought we could have a newspaper type
of set-up where students could get an Activity
hour to come to a meeting, be assigned/volunteer
for a topic, write about it, and turn it in (to
obtain the hour). It would also make a more
fun, interactive experience associated with our
newsletter and possibly do more to actually get
the word out there with posters, fliers, perhaps
competitions, etc.

Arts and Crafts
– Amanda Hoffman and Mariah Castrogiovanni – |
Thursdays @ 2:00
Honors House |
In this group we will do a different craft every
week that is oriented around the school as well
as the holiday or season at hand. In the past
we have also tried to work in different gifts
because it is hard to live away from school, not
have a job, and then try to get Christmas
presents for your parents and family. Feel free
to come see what we’re all about!

Video Game
Strategies

Fridays
@ 12:20

What is not well-known to people is that video
games, like board games, take a lot of strategy
and tactics to learn the skills needed to
complete a level or to continue with the game.
This groups meeting will forward into not only
talking about certain types or games such as
adventure games but also active games such as
Wii sports. We will look into different types of
games and what makes them so appealing to
different members.
