Dear Colleagues:



I hope Week 10 is treating you well.



As we approach spring quarter, I wanted to let you know of *TA opportunities
for two University Honors courses for AY 2026-2027*.  See course
descriptions below; if you know of graduate students who might be
interested in serving as TAs for either, or both, of these classes please
have them contact me directly: *Honorsdirector at ucr.edu
<Honorsdirector at ucr.edu>*. Applications received by *April 15, 2026*, will
be given full consideration.



Thank you,

Begoña





*HNPG 2W:  Principles of Civic Engagement:  *

*Fall 2026*

*MW 5:00-6:20pm  *



*Course description: *4 Units, Lecture, 3 hours; workshop, 1 hour.
Prerequisite(s): ENGL 001B with a grade of C or better; admission to the
University Honors Program. Aims to cultivate, enhance, and facilitate
interest in social change. Bridges the academic and personal life by
providing knowledge and tools for civic engagement. Fulfills the
third-quarter writing requirement for students who earn a grade of "C" or
better for courses that the Academic Senate designates, and that the
student’s college permits, as alternatives to English 001C. Satisfactory(S)
or No Credit(N/C) is not available.



*This course is designed to involve you as a civically engaged citizen
consistent with the second pillar of University Honors:  Cultivating a
Culture of Contribution.  Through presentations, readings, and workshops
you will be challenged to become civically aware with a specific focus on
the Inland Empire, especially the city and county of Riverside, and
UCR.  Throughout this course you will be asked to reflect on what you
believe and how you can effect meaningful change.  As a “W” course, HNPG 2W
will have regular written assignments based on various aspects of the
course related to civic engagement. Throughout the course you will be
introduced to a number of projects from individuals who want you to be
involved. The goal is to have you become involved in projects that are
meaningful to you and that may well continue beyond this quarter.
Additional opportunities for Honors students exist in HNPG2B and HNPG 2C.

*HNPG 150: Research and Creative Activity Across the Disciplines*

*Winter 2027*

*(Times vary)*



*Course description: *3 Units, Lecture 1, Discussion 1, Workshop 1.
Prerequisite(s): admission to, and good standing in, University Honors; or
consent of instructor; upper-division standing.



This course extends and strengthens your understanding of how scholars
approach research / creative activity / experiential learning across the
humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. To facilitate what
students will need to do for their own capstone project, the course will
demonstrate how scholars select a significant issue, review what is already
known about it, and pose a research question whose answer promises to
advance knowledge.



Through Honors Faculty Fellow lectures, discussion sections and library
workshops, you will receive support and tools around the capstone process
that will result in a better understanding of how to develop the skills
associated with completing a large project, the submission of an approved
capstone proposal form, making an oral presentation of your work, and a
detailed prospectus outlining your plan for researching and completing your
capstone.
