Honors Colloquium

HONOR 1, or Honors Colloquium, is a “town meeting” course all Scholars are required to take for five semesters (first freshmen semester - end of first junior semester).

This format presents a weekly opportunity for students to interact with experts and authorities on a wide range of topics from student-centered issues to presidential politics and everything in between that can provide them with global perspectives as well as local solutions. 

The Honors Colloquium gives Scholars the chance to interact with, question, and be inspired by leaders on campus (administrators and faculty) and those in the greater Fresno area community.

The Honors Colloquium also provides a forum for current Scholars to present the results of their scholarly activity projects as well as share their study abroad experiences with their peers. On occasion, the SFHC Director may invite current Scholars to give 20-minute “TED Talk” style presentations on a topic that they are personally interested in and wish to educate others about.
