The 2026 Honors Colloquium, “Interstellar Exploration: Journey Beyond Your Limits,” invites scholars, experts, and the broader community into a bold, thought-provoking conversation that bridges cutting-edge science and the boundless imagination of science fiction. From black holes and distant exoplanets to the origins of the universe and the gravitational waves still rippling through it, the cosmos teems with mysteries that inspire awe and demand answers. Step beyond the safe and familiar horizon of our pale blue dot to explore what awaits when humanity is no longer content to simply look up, but ready to venture out.

Coordinators: Len Kahn, Doug Gobeille, Rob Coyne
