Foundational Engagement (FE)

  • What counts as Foundational Engagement?

    Foundational Engagement includes attending Honors social events, as well as membership in any ERAU club.

    • Faculty-sponsored social events (e.g., Arcade Night, Game Night, Planetarium visit)
    • Documentary viewing events (e.g., Chasing the Moon)
    • Honors social events (e.g., Friday night community events, ice cream social, town hall, pool party)
    • Member of a non-honors campus organization

    To declare membership of a non-honors campus organization, please fill out the Student Organization Membership Declaration form.

  • How many Foundational Engagement Activities do I need?

    For most Honors Program students, the ways to meet Honors Engagement requirements using FE activities are:

    • Foundational Engagement Quartet: Four FE activities
    • Balanced Trio: One FE activity, one ME activity, and one HI activity
    • Mixed Engagement (Foundational Focus): Three FE activities, and one ME activity
