The Honors Program encourages honors students to participate in HONORS CONFERENCES. Academic conferences are a wonderful opportunity for you to distinguish yourself as a scholar.

The following academic conferences provide a forum in which Honors Program students can present research results, participate in panel discussions, display poster presentations, and show or perform original creations (art, music, dance, etc.). Depending on the conference, these presentations may be individual, in pairs or small groups.

 

 

 

There are scholarships available at many of these conferences and conference participation adds significantly to students’ transfer, scholarship, and employment potential.  The distinction of having presented at one or more conferences speaks well for students who are competing for admission to the most highly selective transfer schools, programs of study, and for competitive scholarship awards.
