The James V. Bastek Honors Center

The Honors Program offices are located on the second floor of 127 Glenwood Avenue in the James V. Bastek Honors Center. The space was created through the generous donation of alumna Carol Potyrala Bastek, Ph.D., Class of 1970, in memory of her husband, James V. Bastek, M.D., Class of 1967.

Known affectionately as “the Honors House” to Honors students, the James V. Bastek Honors Center is available for students to utilize for individual quiet study, study groups or team meetings, and socializing, as well as a classroom space for small Honors seminars. Along with the Social Justice Program, located at 125 Glenwood Avenue in the King-Kairos Center for Social Justice, the Honors Program maintains the backyard of these properties as a campus green space and community garden for the enjoyment of all members of Saint Peter’s University.
