Honors students, even during a semester transformed by COVID-19, do great things, including engage in research projects that deepen their learning. These students worked closely with faculty to get a much richer sense of course topics and to complete ground-breaking research for their honors theses. The Honors Program would like to recognize these amazing students and the faculty that supervised them. Typically, the Honors Program would have hosted the Fall Honors Symposium so students could share their research. Due to COVID-19, honors students could not present their research from the Fall semester at the Fall Honors Symposium. Instead of meeting in person, two White-Foster Research Scholarship winners and five students completing honors option contract recorded videos where they discussed their research. You can watch their videos and get a sense of the research honors students are doing.
