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 Showcase, in May, provides an opportunity for you to present your project to the URI community as well as family and friends. Students give a ten-minute presentation directly followed by five minutes of questions from the audience. As a graded component of the project, presentations should include effective use of slides and engaging communication skills. 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 May showcase 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.

A a one-page abstract must be submitted as part of completion of the Honors Program. Guidelines for completion 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.
