Each year all HN302 junior and senior level students and their mentors meet with members of the Honors and Scholarship Committee, which is chaired by the Director of the Honors Program. The purpose of the meeting is to allow you to discuss the status of your research projects with committee members. The committee members may use the occasion to supply feedback and direction for you, suggesting changes and/or additions to the project. Guests may be invited, and various administrators and faculty stop by to learn more about your projects! Mentors, please discuss your preferred day and time for your student’s 12-15 minute presentation. The Director will complete a schedule on or before Nov 1.
If you are enrolled in your initial semester of HN302, you will present a summary that describes the project and progress made since the project’s inception that also includes a list of a minimum of 10 sources, the majority of which should be journal articles, monographs or books (these may be prospective interviews and other primary sources as well as print sources).
