About Affinity Groups
Honors Affinity Groups are informal opportunities for honors students to connect around shared identities and interests. These groups are not student organizations, nor do they receive funding. Each group is convened by an Honors Program faculty member upon student request / interest. Activities may include socials, professional development workshops, visits to campus resources, and more.
