Date, Marry, Disappear: Feb 24 Foods
Today is Pancake, Cupcake, and Tortilla Day. So I pose the vital question to all of you, which would you date, marry or disappear? This was a tough one and potentially a hot take.
- Date: Pancakes - I had a Dutch Baby pancake (Thanks Chrissy Teigen!) yesterday and was reminded of how this other type of pancake takes traditional ones to the next level. But, I drown them in Maple Syrup, which can't be good for you.
- Marry: Tortilla Chips - I have a sweet tooth, but tortilla chips are too good. Best guac delivery system, all-around dip MVP, my current favorite Trader Joe's snack, Doritos, and I'll eat 'em plain any day. Salt for the win!
- Disappear: Cupcakes - There's a lot of other sweets, I'd rank above cupcakes, and I can get a similar vibe, from, ya know, regular ole cake.

Honors Connect Service Mentor Application Now Available! - Deadline is March 11, Interviews 16 and 17
The purpose of this week is to:
1. use a service learning model to educate students on social issues of inequity and inequality, using the particular context and challenges of our local community. Proposed focus areas include: food, education, and health/wellness;
2. instill/continue an ethic of service early in the college career;
3. model effective citizenship and leadership in one's community; and
4. develop cultural understanding through opportunities that stretch a student to move across social, economic, and cultural boundaries.
Mentors should possess an ethic of service, with clear commitment to working with Temple and Philadelphia. In addition, Mentors should demonstrate a desire to work with incoming Honors Program students to aid in the new students' transitions to both TU and the Honors Program.
Mentors will have the opportunity to establish relationships in the surrounding community, engage with the newest members of the Honors Program, and work closely with Honors Program staff and faculty. Mentors will be asked to move into their on- or off-campus housing prior to the start of the program.
Click here for more info and to apply! Sign up for an interview slot as well. Deadline to apply is March 11th and interviews will take place March 16 and 17 from 1-5 PM. Training will take place during April (we hope!).
