Honors Colloquium
All SAS Honors Program students are required to complete at minimum one Honors Colloquium. Students who enter the SASHP as first-year students are required to complete a second Honors Colloquium, or an approved alternate: Byrne Seminar or a credit-bearing study abroad program/course.
The goal of the Honors Colloquium is to stimulate intellectual curiosity and discussion as well as provide students with an interdisciplinary approach to learning. Through discussions, lectures, film screenings, and museum visits, students will explore topics of social, scientific, and philosophical significance.

From the Narrative
Once upon a time, spring 2025 Colloquium focused on the transformative art of storytelling. Whether scientist or historian, the way stories are told shapes our understanding of history, culture, and phenomena in everyday life. This course invites students to engage with diverse mediums, to become familiar with untold histories, and reflect on the stories in our collective memory and shared future. Course content will feature multimedia selections from Scarlet and Black, TED talks, and related open-source materials. The collaborative final project incorporates multimedia storytelling to highlight a selected theme from the course.
Honors Colloquium classes alternate between assembly and section meetings. We introduce big ideas through general assemblies with guest lectures and panel discussions from campus scholars. Small section meetings offer an opportunity for deeper discussion and for creating connections among our own honors community.
