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.
