11/08 Beginning in Honors	11/8/2023	11/8/2023	12:00 PM	4:00 PM	11/8/2023 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM Beginning in Honors is a workshop designed for new honors directors and deans or those leading or creating new honors programs and colleges. This workshop begins in a large group, and then breaks out into small groups, focused upon specific institutional types -- large universities; medium-sized institutions; small public, private, and faith-based colleges; and two-year institutions.
11/08 Pre-Conference Workshop: International 101 (Additional Fee)	11/8/2023	11/8/2023	2:00 PM	5:00 PM	11/8/2023 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM International study stands as a proven high impact practice. Running sustained short term experiences for groups of students can help institutionalize international experiences within honors. This pre-conference three hour workshop is designed to provide participants with collaborative time to explore issues in launching and sustaining international programming within the honors experience. We focus on two critical components of international study which are far too often overlooked: a) pre-program planning and b) post-program opportunities for participants in international study to "keep the program alive" by sharing their experiences and applying lessons learned within the context of the campus and community. This pre-conference workshop is limited to 24 participants. Session Fee: $50

From the NPS: "In a growing Chicago neighborhood, diverse people and stories intertwined. All were seeking opportunity. Some succeeded. Others were limited—by race, gender, or economic status. Their stories came together in Pullman, a planned industrial community famed for its urban design and architecture." Limited to 30 participants \| Additional Fees: $6 for Metra Train Day Pass. Lunch stop at Whole Foods, on your own.

Participants will seek to more deeply understand the conference theme, ‘Revolutionary Honors,’ through conversations and observations in Chicago neighborhoods, public spaces, and cultural landmarks. The CAT experience includes an opening session, city exploration, breakouts for writing and observations, and a group closing session.
