Note From the Director

One of our callings in the CHP is to explore fundamental questions together. One such question especially relevant to you in the honors program is this -- How do we pursue excellence in our studies and our work without losing our soul and part of ourselves in the process? This Thursday evening, Dr. Elizabeth Corey of Baylor University will be addressing this important question. She’s very well-suited to do so. In addition to being a fine teacher and scholar and a one-time aspiring musician, Dr. Corey is also a wife, a mother, and a dedicated member of her church community. I’ve heard her speak before and can promise that she’ll provide much food for thought in her talk.

“Christian Reflections on Success, Ambition, and Achievement,” lecture by Dr. Elizabeth Corey this Thursday at 7:00 p.m. in Parmer Cinema [Boyer 137].

“Cybernetic Enhancement and the Problem of the Self,” lecture by Dr. Noreen Herzfeld next Monday, April 1st at 7:00 p.m. in Hostetter Chapel Sanctuary

CHP New York City bus trip on Saturday, April 6th. *Tickets available this Tuesday starting at 11 a.m. outside Boyer 153. $10 cash & cell # required. Only 50 tickets available. First come first serve.

We were excited to hear recently that the CHP may be granted use of special-interest housing, specifically the Woodland House. If our application is accepted, it will mean that for the first time ever the CHP would have dedicated space on campus to use for both aca-demic and social purposes. It would also mean that a group of female CHP students would be able to live together in the Woodland House next year. As we await response from Residence Life, female students, please let us know at collegehonorspro-gram@messiah.edu if you are interested in the Wood-land House or if you have any questions about it.
