Cultural Activities & Tickets
The Honors College typically offers tickets to Honors students for cultural events around the Wilmington/Cape Fear Region. Each year we secure a limited number of tickets to symphonies, lectures, concerts, and passes to area cultural treasures like the Cameron Art Museum, Airlie Gardens, the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, and other venues.
Service Activities
Most honors scholars are interested in volunteer activities on campus or in the community. Below are links to several of the agencies in Wilmington that offer service opportunities. You can also visit the Office of Student Leadership and Engagement for more ideas.
