What is the Honors Institute?
The Honors Institute is a multi-track learning experience
that includes a provocative community event. Its purpose
is to prepare Honors students to think beyond their
academic training and to make it a habit of incorporating
this training into larger, humanistic considerations
of the common good. Focusing each year on a different
contemporary intellectual issue of ethical importance,
the Institute consists of:
- two interdisciplinary Honors seminars.
- a civic engagement project for Honors seminar students.
- a community keynote address, free and open to the
public, delivered by a figure of national or international
prominence.
- a community day-long symposium, free and open to
the public, consisting of small, intensive discussion
sessions run by regional experts and humanities scholars.
What is this year's topic?
The 2008 Honors Institute will explore various interdisciplinary approaches to "creating sustainable environments."
What will happen at the Institute
Symposium?
The Institute Symposium on Creating Sustainable Environments will consist of a combination of inquiry and action sessions:
