Honors Projects & Poster Presentations

Honors students share their posters at the Spring 2001 presentation

Honors projects, involving a wide variety of forms and subjects, are potentially the most valuable component of an honors education. Students have analyzed the structure of beaver dams, designed and constructed a stained glass window, choreographed and performed an original dance, and developed complex computer interfaces. These examples represent the creative norm common to honors projects, not the exception.
