During December 11-14, 81 SMBHC juniors traveled to Boston to interview professionals in their desired fields and in preparation for their honors theses. They also found a little time to enjoy the city!

Throughout November, December, and January, over 130 SMBHC freshmen will be traveling in groups of 4-5 all over the country (and one group hopping over into Canada!) to answer this year’s Freshman Ventures question: How do we know what is true? The groups will come together to present their findings to honors staff, faculty, and peers on February 3rd at the Freshman Ventures Retreat. The winning group(s) will be rewarded with a trip to NYC.

Thanks to the generous support of the Barksdale family as well as numerous donations from SMBHC alumni and friends, these opportunities are possible, and we thank you for your support!
