The combination of LAMP and the HHC courses allowed me to really explore a wide range of interesting subjects in the liberal arts (taught by some of the best faculty at IU), as well as take business courses in order to graduate with a transferable skill set.

M.M., Piano Performance; freelance accompanying and private teaching in Bloomington.
I remember well Prof. Bondanella's course during my sophomore year entitled "Dante and His Times," in which we not only put the usually orphaned "Inferno" in the context of the complete Commedia, but also the Commedia in the historical, political, and cultural context of which Dante was a part. Having taken very few courses outside of the Jacobs School during my time here, H204 remains for me a delightful memory and a testament to the quality of teaching in the HHC.

Piano Performance, French
Pursuing an MM in Piano at IU while working as an associate instructor for courses in the Music Theory department.
Living on the HRC in Forest for the first two years was one of the best decisions I made-- at least half of my good friends now are from that original group. I also enjoyed honors courses taught by Profs. Gubar and Cecil; they sparked my creativity and expanded my knowledge of Western culture and literature, taking me out of the Music School bubble for a few hours every week. Lastly, the HHC International Experiences Program generously awarded me a grant to study music in Paris for the summer of 2008. Thanks!

The Hutton Honors College has been a huge resource to me throughout my undergraduate career. Through funding opportunities and faculty resources, I was able to study abroad in the Dominican Republic, complete an Honors Thesis in Sociology, and present my research at the North Central Sociological Association Conference. Without the grants they make available to undergraduate students, I probably wouldn't have been able to take advantage of these opportunities not to mention the faculty that supported me in these endeavors.
