Honors Houses

Honors Houses: Rooted in ancient tradition, and named after distinguished past Honors Directors, Augsburg’s Honors Houses offer student leadership, voice, and community.  Through their Houses, Honors students can design and create their own co-curricular activities and projects.  Honors houses create vital programs and also provide entertainment and social occasions.

All Honors students must belong to an Honors House for the purpose of receiving academic advising and program information.  All Honors students are required to attend mandatory meetings of the Honors Program or of their House.  These meetings are necessary for advising, information, and governance.

When students enter the Honors Program they choose to join one of the four Honors Houses, which are rooted in ancient academic tradition, and named after past Honors directors:

The Crockett Scholars House coordinates scholarship, research, fellowship and major award or prize opportunities for all Honors students. Crockett House also organizes events related to scholarship such as College scholarship events, or high school research fairs.
The Pike Stewards House coordinates public relations, job placement, graduate school placement, and fund raising opportunities for all Honors students.  Pike House also organizes events for alumni and fund raising.
The Griffin Citizens House coordinates recruiting, social activities, admission & scholarship applications, and the Honors web site opportunities for all Honors students. Griffin House also organizes events for recruiting and socializing, such as banquets, parties, and high school recruiting trips.
The Hesser Servants House coordinates service learning, social justice, experiential learning and political activity opportunities for all Honors students.  Hesser House also organizes related events, such as honors service days and Augsburg experiences.

The emblems pictured above represent each house: Crocket House —a scroll, Pike House—a spear, Griffin House—a horn, and Hesser House—a crown of olive leaves.
