Friday Forum: Honors Program

Join the Clarence Mitchell Library live for Honors Program student spring presentations!

Students designed and completed their projects on a chosen topic with the assistance of a faculty member. Each presentation will be 3 – 5 minutes, with students explaining the scope of their project, what they learned, and how the project will apply to their future educational and/or career goals.
