Honors House

The purpose of the Honors House is to foster a positive learning and living environment. A member of the Honors House
must have at least a 3.0 GPA, and participate in the tutoring program that the honors house offers for the College community.

The Honors House occupies the second and third floors of Dorothy Webster Hall. It was built in 1870, and given to the college as a women's residence hall in 1930. The first floor serves as freshman honors housing, and the third floor features a large study lounge.

Living in "The House" is not just about good grades and pleasant surroundings. Residents also pride ourselves on living the college experience and growing together as students. It seems that incoming freshmen (and especially their parents) are shown a life of stimulated intellectualism, play time, study time, and spacious residence halls surrounded by streetlamps and massive shade trees. Residence of the Honors House live this way on a daily basis.

The House is also an active organization on campus. Despite our small size, we consistantly bring back awards from Homecoming competitions and provide tutoring services to all students free of charge. Many residents are also involved in interscholastic athletics, theatre arts, music, visual arts, print media, and the leadership of many other organizations on campus.
