Important Deadlines!

Hey UHP'ers!  Hope everyone is having a terrific Tuesday!  

I just wanted to let everyone know that we need for people to have their money in for the Black Mountain Trip by tomorrow, Wednesday, Sept. 25.  Also, if you haven't yet expressed interest in the Black Mountain Trip but are now interested, don't worry...you can still come!  Any UHP'er can come into the UHP Office in Cone anytime today or tomorrow, turn-in $50, and come along for this incredible opportunity!  We will be able to take the first  30-35 students, and as of right now we've only had around 15 who have paid.  So, if you want to go you should hurry on over to the Honors Office ASAP and let them know that you want to come before it's too late!  

The $50 fee (less than the cost of your average soft-cover textbook from the bookstore or Gray's) includes transportation (we'll be taking a comfy chartered bus), room & board (we'll be staying in cabins), etc.  We're very fortunate to be able to offer this low, one-time $50 fee exclusively to UHP'ers.  I can assure you this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you won't want to miss!  It is going to be worth every penny of the fee, and personally I think this opportunity would be worth 10 times that much because of all the exciting things we're going to be doing! We'll be at a wonderful facility in Black Mountain, and their trained facilitators will be leading us on some awesome activities that include things such as kayaking, hiking, an Iron Chef competition, team building, etc.   

Once again, you can still have the opportunity to come along on this incredible trip....it's not too late yet!  BUT, we need you to come into the office by tomorrow at 5:00 with your $50 so we'll know how many people are committed to coming along with us!  We'll be leaving at around 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 25, and will be back on campus by around 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 27, so it's not a big time commitment and you'll have plenty of time to study if you have exams the following week.

Also, for any of you wonderful freshmen out there don't forget that the deadline to submit applications for the Emerging Leaders program is next Monday, Sept. 30.  Applications can be completed via the following link:  http://leadership.uncc.edu/emerging-leaders-online-application.  Also, Emerging Leaders will be holding an info session THIS WEDNESDAY IN STUDENT UNION 340DE at 6:00 p.m.  Free refreshments will be served, and you will learn lots of information about the program and can have any of your questions answered.  Even if you can't make the info session, I strongly encourage any and all freshmen to apply!

Let me know if you have any questions, and if you're available from Oct. 25 -- Oct. 27 please come along with us to Black Mountain...I hope to see lots of you coming into the Honors Office today and tomorrow!

Have a great day!

Austin Jenkins, UHP President-Elect
