Honors Connection Scavenger Hunt

A few days ago (last Tuesday to be exact) all of the Honors College students involved with Honors Connection got together to have a pizza party and a scavenger hunt. What is Honors Connection? It's one-hour freshmen-only Honors College course. In the course, freshmen are placed into groups of about ten other freshmen and two or three upperclassmen. The groups meet five times during the semester and discuss everything from T-town dining to campus involvement. So it's basically a great way to get an hour of honors credit while learning things that you'll need to know anyway.

Back to the scavenger hunt. Each of the Honors Connection groups went gallivanting around campus trying to get pictures of all sorts of things. And what was the motivation for all of this madness? One of these:

The Prize.

That's right...every member of the winning group received a bona-fide Honors College Hot/Cool Bag. One of the groups (led by Michael Schmidt) emailed me their pictures from the hunt. Here are a selected few with descriptions (tangoing, water fountain, and mullet after the jump):

Entire team pretending to be under the sea with a visible copy of Moby Dick.
Team member tangoing with a stranger. Bonus for the rose.
Entire team in water. Clever.
Team with with a stranger who sports a mullet. Note the sneaky freshman behind him getting the rear-view pic.
