Our theme for the 2021-2022 year is “What’s in a Name?”. Annual Honors themes provide focus and touchstones in our programming and courses that create interdisciplinary cohesion among curricular and co-curricular Honors experiences. Over the 2021-2022 year, we will engage this theme in Honors courses and events. Through this theme, we will explore the significance of nomenclature and the impact that names and their associations have on our lives and position in the world.
