College of Arts & Sciences - Honors Colloquium

Honors Colloquium:

In the spring semester of every year, the honors program hosts an Honors Colloquium.
This event is designed as an academic colloquium. The focus of this event is short, well-crafted scholarly presentations by each honors student whose thesis is on track for completion that term or next.
Another feature of the colloquium is the awarding of the “Best Thesis” award of $100 to a student whose thesis had been completed during the previous calendar year, adjudicated by a committee of the honors faculty who directed theses during that period.
Students currently enrolled in the honors seminar are encouraged to attend, and presenters are encouraged to invite family and friends. All faculty at USF Sarasota-Manatee are invited, as well as selected faculty from USF Tampa.
This event features refreshments for a reception after the presentations.
Students and thesis advisors are, again, recognized by name—and their achievements noted and acknowledged by attendees.
Naturally, this annual event does not begin until the second year of the program: March 2010.
