Honors Salon Proposal
The Honors Salon is a student-driven forum for the exchange of thoughts and ideas. Taking its name
from the spaces of the French Enlightenment, the Honors Salon offers Fellows an opportunity to
share and learn together. Fellows might present on their research to rehearse for off-campus
conferences, on extra-curricular interests such as hobbies, and so forth.
Salon proposal forms must be submitted electronically to the Honors director for approval at least
four (4) weeks ahead of their proposed dates. A Salon that demonstrates a minimum of five (5)
attendees and delivers on its objectives will earn the Fellow one (1) point toward her Honors Points
total. The title of the document should read: YOUR NAME, PRESENTATION, ACADEMIC
YEAR.pdf when submitted to the director.
