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.
Come to an Honorable Mentions team meeting at the beginning of the quarter to meet the editors and learn more, or fill out the interest form below and we’ll tell you how you can participate!
Submitting to the Honors Blog is a great way to gain Honors points and even earn Honors leadership! Learn more here.
