Presidential Scholars Program Themed Colloquia

What are Presidential Scholars Themed Colloquia?

Presidential Scholars Themed Colloquia are one-credit courses designed exclusively for students in the Presidential Scholars Program. The purpose of these colloquia is to explore current topics of interest through the lens of several academic disciplines, showing students how disparate fields of study approach the same issue or phenomenon. Guest lectures from experts on the topic from both the campus and community highlight the importance of the issues being discussed.
