University Honors Program presents faculty showcase next week
The University Honors Program on Tuesday will showcase faculty research and teaching around the theme of “survival.”

For the fall 2019-2020 school year SIU faculty were invited to propose courses clustered around the survival theme. Students from these courses will present their projects on April 8. Students from the fall 2019 cluster had showcased their work in early December.
