The Honors College Homecoming Open House and Pancake Feed brought together around 40 alumni, students, families, and friends for a morning of food, games, and great conversation at Elmina White Honors Hall.

Members of the Honors Student Advisory Council (HSAC) helped prepare and serve pancakes while challenging newcomers to friendly games of cornhole. M. Grant Norton, dean of the Honors College, welcomed the group and encouraged everyone to take advantage of the opportunity to ask him questions. Throughout the morning, he connected with alumni, current students, and their families, celebrating the community that makes Honors special.

Guests also had the chance to explore Elmina White Honors Hall through a scavenger hunt, discovering interesting facts about the building and the college along the way. Those who completed the hunt were entered for a chance to win a WSU door prize.

From flipping pancakes to making new connections, the morning offered a fun and welcoming way to kick off Homecoming and celebrate the Honors community.

Whether reconnecting with old friends or meeting Honors students for the first time, everyone helped make it a memorable Crimson and Gray gathering.

Go Cougs!
