Honors Project
Presenting Your Project
The project culminates in a showcase where the entire URI community, including faculty, sponsors, and the Provost, listen to Honors students share their work.
The Honors Project Showcases, to be held in December and May, provide an opportunity for you to present your project to the URI community as well as family and friends. Presentations may be made by way of readings, speeches, posters, photographs, videos, computer displays, theatrical presentations or a combination of these, as well as any other effective means of summary and communication. This is not a time of examination or defense, as required with a graduate degree, but a time of sharing what you learned and celebrating the excellence of your achievements.
We recommend that you attend the conference the year before you do your project so that you have a better understanding of what this entails. Dates and details can be found on the Honors Program website, through our social media, or by contacting the Honors Program Office. For those graduating in December, special arrangements for presentation will be made to give them an opportunity to present their projects.
An electronic copy of your final project, including a one-page abstract, must be submitted as part of completion of the Honors program. Guidelines for completing these will be explained once you are enrolled in HPR 401/402. Abstracts and summaries of all Honors Projects can be viewed on the University’s Digital Commons website.
