Honors Symposium
Each spring semester the college organizes a scholarly experience for honors students. A different theme is selected each year, and a lecture series is presented to the students and to the community. Speakers from across the United States representing diverse points of view have come to the college to interact with students during the day and to present an evening lecture which is open to the general public.
Over the years more than 100 speakers have made personal presentations at the college, and thousands of students and community members have participated in the symposium, all in an effort to better inform the community and our students on vital contemporary issues. Previous topics have included:
- International relations
- Tolerance and intolerance
- Physician assisted suicide
- Our post 9/11 world
- DNA and the human genome
- Gender
- America’s debate over church and state
