Building Community in the Honors Program of a Small Comprehensive University

How do an honors director and other honors faculty build a real sense of community over three class years for honors students? Through those students sharing several required courses in honors, through their "hanging out" in the University Honors Lounge which is only for their use, through their sharing meals with high-profile visitors to campus, and through course-linked trips to exciting destinations like Philadelphia and New York City (we have student testimonials on this one!).
