You will meet regularly with the professor to review your progress. To receive Honors credit, the results of this Independent Research must be presented at the Honors conference held at the end of the spring semester. Conference presentations are 20 minutes long. Students who joined Honors as first-year students may apply for up to $1,000 to support expenses incurred for their research.
