Event Information
HTCC's annual conference gives community college honors students the opportunity to present their academic work. We invite research-based presentations, posters, and creative performances reflecting inquiry into the humanities, sciences, arts, social sciences, and pre-professional programs; we also welcome results of research into the honors experience.
The conference registration desk will be located on the top floor of the Student Union North Building. The Opening Planary will take place in the Conference Center located inside the Student Union North Building. Refreshments and pasteries will be available in the morning outside of the Conference Center.
