Honors Program and Upcoming Events
“The Honors Colloquia are scholarly talks and presentations offered throughout the school year. They provide a venue for Honors students and faculty to present their research, but also for the Honors program to bring speakers to campus from outside the university community.” said Professor Craig Nakashian, the director of the academic honors program. Professor Nakashian became interested in the honors program as an undergrad at his old institution where he helped start an honors program. As a student he saw the value of the program and what it did for students and the college campus. In 2010 he served on the honors committe at TAMUT.
“The honors program gives students access to unique innovative courses. They also run team taught seminars and mentor projects in the students area of interest.” said Professor Nakashian. The program hosts 5-7 public events each semester that are academically focused. Usually taught by faculty or students.
Over the course of the next three weeks there will be two events held on campus in person with the option to zoom in for students and staff. On October 26th, 2021 Dr. Md.
