Our students have worked tirelessly under the guidance of their instructors. We are looking forward to seeing what they have accomplished,” said HFC Director of the Honors Program Chardin Claybourne.
We encourage you to attend Honors Day to engage with the students, asking them questions about their projects and the impact of their research. Come when you can and stay as long as you like. As presentations will be ongoing, we ask you to enter and exit as unobtrusively as possible.
