Kick off the semester with fellow L&S Honors students and staff on Observatory Hill with beautiful views of Lake Mendota!  You will enjoy playing lawn games, touring Washburn Observatory, cuddling with friendly canines from Dogs on Call, meeting new friends, and cooling off with a treat from the popular Kona Ice truck (while supplies last). Drop by when you can, and stay as long as you’d like.
