Welcome aboard, Honors Entering Class of 2013!



The Departure of Saint Ursula from Basle, panel from The Reliquary of St. Ursula by Hans Memling (1489)

So you're officially a college student.  And not just that, you joining the ECU Honors Program.  Congratulations and welcome aboard!  You've officially arrived.  It's a brave new world.   But fear not: signs of your success are already apparent.  If you're reading this, then you made it to our brand new Enduring Questions website.  That's step #1.  And better yet (step #2), you already have the book for the summer reading (You do, right?  If not, stop reading this right now, yes now, go get your book--Leonard Mlodinow's Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior--and then start reading this again.  Seriously.).  After taking a peek at the questions on this website (click here;  yes there ARE a lot.  Don't panic!), you may be thinking to yourself (that's called reflection, and good, too, by the way)--"What exactly am I supposed to do here?"  These questions  have a simple purpose.  They are designed to help you engage with the text (and the rest of us).  And since we certainly don't want you to feel uncertain or to approach the questions "willy-nilly" (a fun way to say without structure or system), click here to see the rules.
