The funds raised by the An Opportuni-Tea event benefit our truly amazing ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Honors Undergraduate Students.

This event builds funding for the University Honors Program at ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø. Donations directly impact student success by supporting student scholarships, student research, additional UHP programming, seminars, and courses. In essence, funds raised by An Opportuni-Tea provide additional opportunities for hardworking ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Honors students.

ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Honors students are a unique group of people. In addition to pursuing their education full-time at ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø, these students participate in leadership, mentoring, and volunteer positions. While all UHP Students share many characteristics – they are all curious and motivated – they come from diverse backgrounds and have diverse needs.  Many UHP students are

  • first generation college students,
  • grew up in rural communities,
  • work their way through college,
  • are student athletes, or
  • need support as they struggle with life’s adversities.

Many Honors students volunteer their time and skills to this annual event.  They participate in the preparation, execution, entertainment, and clean-up of An Opportuni-Tea each year; giving you An Opportuni-Tea to meet and experience ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Honors students.         

The 16th Annual An Opportuni-Tea is scheduled for Saturday, April 4, 2026, from noon to 2:30pm in the Event Hall of the ICCU Bengal Alumni Center.  Doors open at 11:30am.
