SUMMARY:Balloon Animal 101 with Ron Zuckerman
DESCRIPTION:Ever wanted to make your own inflatable zoo? Join Honors student and long-time balloon animal expert Ron Zuckerman to learn how to make your very own balloon animal on Tuesday\, 2/17 at 3:30 PM in MGH 211. Snacks will be included! RSVP for the event here. \nA message from Ron: \nMy name is Ron and I’m a senior studying Mechanical Engineering! I first learned how to make balloon animals a few years ago from a friend\, and liked it so much that I’ve been making them ever since! I’ve been a peer facilitator for Honors 100 a few times and have made balloon animals with my students\, which has been a blast\, so thought it would be fun to put on this event for others to try!

SUMMARY:CHID/UWT-CAC/HONORS Summer B 2026 León Info Session
DESCRIPTION:December 2nd from 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm \nLearn more about the Summer B 2026 CHID / UWT-CAC / HONORS León program\, “Migration\, Culture\, and Belonging in the Mediterranean.” \nCampus Location: Padelford Hall C-101 or on ZOOM \nOnline Meeting Link: https://washington.zoom.us/j/94940295874?pwd=iMAc2ovHr4WcfgaCUhAjphDzpSDPWb.1 \nPasscode: 960971 \n This 2026 summer B term program based in León\, Spain explores migration\, identity\, and belonging in the Mediterranean. Students will engage with literature\, music\, film\, and other cultural production to examine how migrants reshape national identities and how cultural expression responds to displacement and integration. Coursework is anchored by a rich selection of texts from Spain\, France\, and Italy and will be complemented by site visits\, guest speakers\, and facilitated community interaction. In addition to studying migration from academic and artistic perspectives\, students will reflect on their own roles as visitors and tourists abroad. Using Anu Taranath’s Beyond Guilt Trips as a framework\, the program encourages critical thinking about privilege\, positionality\, and cultural engagement in global travel. This metacognitive component deepens students’ awareness of their impact and responsibilities as global learners.

SUMMARY:Public Trust in Science (free/registration required)
DESCRIPTION:Next up in Honors’ Global Challenges — Interdisciplinary Thinking (GCIT) event series … \n“Public Trust in Science and Why It Matters”\nNov. 12\, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. \nKane Hall 130 \nFREE (registration required) \nRegister for Global Challenges 2025 \n____________________________________________________________________ \n  \nEvent Description \nAs it becomes increasingly woven into our daily lives\, public trust in science— or the lack thereof — matters more than ever. Join a dynamic conversation among UW Interdisciplinary Honors faculty whose scholarship and teaching engage natural sciences\, social sciences and the humanities\, as they explore what happens when scientific research and scholarship are misunderstood\, mistrusted or misused. This is our eleventh Global Challenges — Interdisciplinary Thinking event\, a series that inspires our community to imagine how conversations among people versed in different areas of knowledge can better investigate real-world problems. \n  \nAbout Our UW Honors Faculty Speakers \nAs pictured left to right\, top to bottom: \nK.C. Cole (Physics/Journalism)\nHonored for her writing by the American Institute of Physics\, Cole is known for her ability to convey complex scientific ideas with a human touch\, as in her best-selling book: The Universe and the Teacup: The Mathematics of Truth and Beauty. Currently “senior senior” columnist for popular media outlet\, Wired\, Cole has developed interdisciplinary courses bridging science\, technology and culture at USC\, UCLA\, and now at the UW. She regularly teaches two popular UW Honors courses: “The Art of Understanding Science” and “The Science of Human Values.” \nMaralyssa Bann\, M.D. (Medicine)\nA hospital-based Internal Medicine physician at Harborview Medical Center and Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine\, Dr. Bann focuses on inpatient care rooted in equity\, harm reduction\, and patient-centeredness. She brings a global and interdisciplinary lens to her Honors course on “Safety-Net Hospitals in the U.S.” and study abroad program “Honors London: Socializing Medicine\,” which explores the social\, historical\, and economic dimensions of healthcare systems around the world. \nDr. Michelle Koutnik (Environment/Glaciology)\nA glaciologist whose research focuses on Greenland\, Antarctica and Mars\, Dr. Koutnik studies how glaciers and ice sheets respond to climate change. She’s been an active part of the UW Honors teaching community for over a decade\, bringing planetary science and climate literacy to students through fieldwork-inspired courses and previous Global Challenges panels. Her most recent Honors course in Spring 2025 was “Polar Places and Spaces: Exploring the Greenland Ice Sheet.” \nDr. Jon Herron (Biology)\nDr. Herron\, a Teaching Professor in Biology\, is the author of Evolutionary Analysis\, a widely used textbook now in its 5th edition. He designs virtual biology labs and has taught for UW Honors since 1996\, leading courses like “DNA and Evolution” and “Evolution and Human Behavior.” Beloved by students\, he’s a multi-year recipient of the Honors Excellence in Teaching Award — recognized for his impressive ability to inspire “non scientists” to embrace scientific discovery and thinking. \nModerator: Clara McAdams (Interdisciplinary Honors Student)\nClara is majoring in Neuroscience with a minor in Bioethics and plans to attend medical school to prepare for her work in pediatric neurology. As a Peer Facilitator\, she helps new Honors students learn how to navigate the UW with an interdisciplinary mindset. Clara also leads campus tours\, conducts research in the UW Medicine NICU and volunteers with the “Grey Matters” undergraduate neuroscience journal — conducting outreach that makes science more accessible to younger students. \nLearn about Honors’ Global Challenges Events Series \nRegister for Global Challenges 2025

SUMMARY:Honors Huskies Outing - Unpacking Legacy Seattle Town Hall Lecture
DESCRIPTION:October 9\, 6:30 p.m.\, Seattle Town Hall.  \nJoin student leader Mary Hale and Honors Program Director Stephanie Smallwood for an Honors Huskies outing to this timely lecture: Unpacking Legacy: From the Personal to the Systemic with Dr. Uché Blackstock. \nIn this powerful and deeply personal talk\, Dr. Uché Blackstock explores the legacies that have shaped her journey—both personal and institutional. She reflects on following in her mother’s footsteps to medical school\, a path that made Dr. Blackstock and her twin sister the first Black mother-daughter legacy at the institution.  \nShe also confronts a broader\, systemic legacy—the entrenched racism woven into every aspect of the medical field. From disparities in medical education to the safety and well-being of BIPOC practitioners\, Dr. Blackstock sheds light on the urgent need for change within healthcare institutions.  \nOUR REGISTRATION DEADLINE FOR THIS EVENT HAS PASSED\, BUT TICKETS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AT TOWN HALL. JUST ARRIVE BY 6:15 AND LOOK FOR DR. SMALLWOOD IF YOU STILL WANT TO JOIN IN!
