Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home, and so will the Lewis Honor College.

Lewis Honors College Living Learning Program is holding a month long series of Harry Potter inspired events throughout the month of October.

There are about 30 events throughout the month. The events range from academic events like chemistry review sessions (“Potions”) to social events, such as the annual Yule Ball at the end of the month. The Yule Ball includes a costume contest.

“Some (events) bring campus partners into our community to talk about serious issues such as body image, stress management, or career exploration,” Heather Nan Carpenter, an adviser and organizer of co-curricular programming for the Honors Residential College, said.

Honors students can earn points for their house in the House Cup by attending the events. Students can also earn points through the weekly contests between the houses by posting winning group pictures, house promotional videos or about events they attend on social media.

There is a month-long clothing drive, named after Hermione Granger’s club SPEW (Society for the Promotion of the Elfish Welfare), according to Carpenter. It benefits multiple organizations, including The Hope Center. The donation bins are in the lobbies of Donovan, Johnson and Lewis Halls.

Honors LLP students received an email accepting them to the Hogwarts Honors Program of Witchcraft and Wizardry, including a calendar of events and an invitation to the sorting ceremony.

The Harry Potter events are an annual event and have occurred every October so far since the creation of the LLP. It is exciting for new and old honors students alike.

“Much like the kids of Hogwarts, honors students are waiting for their special letter letting them know that they have been invited into the rare and special world of honors education,” Carpenter said.

There are 688 students that live in the Honors College LLP, but there are almost 2,000 students in total in the Honors College.

All members of the UK community are invited to the events, regardless of where they live or what they study.

The rest of the month’s events are listed below, with descriptions from an email Carpenter sent to all honors students:
