When it Rains, it Pours
By: Roy Elias
The Fall Picnic had a higher turn out of Honors Students than any previous picnic. Upon arrival to Riverfront Park, it was raining ... and then it started pouring. This weather was not an obstacle to fun however, as a friendly yet competitive touch football game that separates the men from the boys was played in the inopportune weather. When the rain began to let up there was excellent food, volleyball, and canoeing. It seemed that everybody was enjoying something about the picnic whether it was socializing with friends, eating, or just having fun with the activities. Fall Picnic was a fun way to spend a couple hours on Sunday, and a testament to the fact that a little rain never hurt anyone.
Aside from the obvious weather problems, the picnic was a lot of fun. It was cool to hang out with the administrators of the honors college outside of the classroom. - Sean Carr
The picnic went really well, even though it rained I definitely enjoyed my cheeseburger, courtesy of Dean Silverman. That man has a way with a grill. - A.J. Jones

LLC's Board Game Night
Here are a few pictures of Board Game Night taken by Pulse photographer Joseph Michalsky. Promoting the Living Learning Community, Game Night brought a group of Honors students together to unwind and have fun on a Wednesday night.
Honors Convocation Marks Start of New Year
By: Ashley Martinez
On building to the Marshall Center, treated like royalty as they were welcomed by the chant of trumpeters as they walked through the doors. Ascending the stairs September 4, a flock of nearly 350 Honors students strolled from the Administration
and making their way to Room 2703 for the Honors Convocation, an inauguration of sorts for the entering Honors class. On stage were the Honors College faculty, wearing full robes that resembled outfits from Harry Potter.
Dean Silverman took the podium and congratulated the entering Honors students, taking note of the great achievement of USF having the largest Honors College in the state. Dr. Naomi Yavneh followed, emphasizing the approximately $380 million of research funds raised at USF. Yavneh encouraged the class to take advantage of such plentiful resources, emphasizing that research is not necessarily black and white, yet assumes the vibrant pastels of creativity. Finding a place for everyone is possible, whether that place would be be studying Dance, French Studies or stem cell research.
Dr. Kleine prevented any possibility of wavering attention by declaring the “elitist” motto: “We breed better Bulls.” Dr. Kliene further supported the statements by encouraging the students to separate themselves from the rest of the USF population by becoming less conformist, attending more events, receiving more scholarships, networking far more, and achieving more than the rest; over
all, to break away from the herd.
“Only dead fish go with the bull, a better bull is a fish that makes waves,” Kleine said.
Following Kleine was Scholarship Advisor Linda Lucas, alerting the fresh mass of Honors Students of the several scholarships available to them. Next up was Honors Advisor Reginald Lucien, encouraging others of the great Honors courses with the perks of the possibility of traveling abroad. The assembly concluded with the students being awarded the first half of their graduation medallions, their sash, a symbol of inspiration to graduate with their Honors in the future.
