Honorable Mentions is a quarterly magazine created by Honors students, for Honors students. Three times a year, Honors students come together to create a new publication comprised of personal essays, poems, artwork, and and other original, creative pieces that are unique in medium and topic but united around one shared theme.

The Honorable Mentions Spring Kick-Off Meeting will be on Thursday, April 16 at 11:30am-12:00pm in the Honors Student Lounge (ALH 210-11). Can’t make the meeting but still want to participate? Fill out the interest form below!
