Honors College Hosts Valentine’s Fundraiser

Love was in the air at the Valentine’s Fundraiser hosted by the Farquhar Honors College on Monday, February 14. Hosted to raise money to support the Honors Student Scholarship Fund, the event welcomed everyone to take a break from stressful midterm preparations to enjoy Valentine’s Day festivities.

Students and faculty trickled in and out throughout the day to enjoy delicious baked goods, take advantage of dazzling photo opportunities, make their own crafty Valentine’s Day cards for their loved ones, and enter a raffle to win a gift basket filled with Honors merchandise. Each booth required a carnival-style ticket obtained by donating to the college.

“I think it’s a good idea to have events like this, it brings Honors students together and creates a community that allows you to get to know other students and faculty,” said freshman Aishwarya Muppoor, a behavioral neuroscience major.

“It’s a great way to get involved outside of classes,” said sophomore Nikhila Paleati, a behavioral neuroscience major. “I joined the college when Covid first started, so events like this are a great way to meet people in person.”

The money raised from the fundraiser will go towards supporting Honors College students in their scholarly endeavors.

To donate to the Farquhar Honors College text NSUHONORS to 41444.
