Colloquium

The annual Undergraduate Research and Creativity Colloquium offers students the opportunity to present their outstanding projects to the campus community. Sponsored by the Honors Program, the Colloquium is organized as four or five concurrent panels over four periods. Each panel usually consists of three or more student presenters.

Each year, over 70 students present their senior theses, academic essays, science experiments, business plans, art works, teaching internships, musical talents, engineering projects, and much more. This celebration of academic excellence is attended by classmates, family members, faculty, and administration.

Colloquium Applications by students are due by February 22, 2021, accompanied by a faculty recommendation. With a program of diverse panels, the Colloquium will be conducted as a virtual event on Wed., April 14, 2021.
