Honors College Summer Virtual Colloquium Series

The Honors College is pleased to announce that the Summer Virtual Colloquium Series is open to all students, including incoming students. 

The Honors College Colloquium is an opportunity to hear from Honors College community members about their research and civic engagement work. Some colloquia may introduce or inform you about research opportunities available to our students. During colloquia, presenters will tell you about their work for 20-25 minutes. Then, as time permits, we will hold brief breakout groups to discuss the lecture, then an Q&A period to ask questions about their presentation.

During Summer 2020, we will be holding our colloquium virtually using Zoom. Incoming students will receive a link and password via email the week of each event. Current students may fill out an interest form prior to the event to get a login link and password.
