CLA Honors Colloquium: Presenting Scholarly Work and Research

Return to top of page

The Honors Colloquium is an annual event held in April in which Honors students present work they have done for Honors courses. Professors recommend work for the Colloquium, and Honors students may also submit work on their own. Any work completed for an Honors course over the previous two semesters (including projects for Honors Contract Courses) is eligible for consideration. The deadline for submissions is usually early February, and all Honors students receive notice of the deadline through the Honors Newsletter and through various mailings. Additional information can always be obtained through the Honors Office.

This is a signature event for the Honors Program, great for your vitae or resume, and people from all over the university are invited to attend. Cash prizes have been awarded for the best spoken presentations and posters. The event is held in the Memorial Union during an afternoon, and refreshments are served. You are always welcome to come and see what other Honors students are doing in their courses. It's an excellent way to find out about courses you may be interested in taking.

Eligibility

Work from any honors course is eligible, or if the student is in good standing with the Honors Program and has taken at least nine hours of Honors courses, then work from ANY course can be submitted. We encourage scholarship, research proposals, and even exhibits of art or photography.
