In Their Own Words:
Kelly Keuper, LLC RA:
"The Honors House LLC is so active and friendly there is never a dull moment! If you want to live in an exciting environment full of academic stimulation and growth as well as tons of fun then the Honors House is for you! If it were not for graduation, I would never leave!"
Alan Singer & Tyson Hausdoerffer, LLC Instructors:
"We’re very excited about teaching the Honors House LLC. Our classes on “Bandits!” (Alan Singer) and “Rogues, Vagabonds, and Other Lowlifes” (Tyson Hausdoerffer) have been a real hit with past Honors students, and we’re sure that they will make for a great LLC experience. Not only will we be studying the literature and history of social outcasts, but we’ll also be doing a number of extracurricular activities such as creating a film series for the whole Honors College and going on a tour of some of Chicago’s most famous gangster landmarks.
