The Huskies Showcase introduced in 2018 replaced thee former events:

• Student Research Colloquium
• Honors Research Colloquium
• Community Engagement Celebration

It features displays from several collaborations between campus members and community partners.

Formerly the Honors Research Colloquium was the culminating experience for first-year Honors students.  As indicated above, this process has been integrated to the Huskies Showcase.  Students present their research projects to faculty, students and family.

First-year students are required to take HONS 106 Honors Seminar II. This course is centered on finding connections between general education courses and the value in a liberal arts degree. Students research a topic found through analysis of two of their classes. They write a research paper on the topic and then present findings.
