Honors Faculty Roundtable

Spring 2026 Event

Monday, March 23, 2026
4:00 - 5:30 pm CST
Morris Library, Room 180 or Microsoft Teams

The University Honors Program at Southern Illinois University invites you to join us for an upcoming Faculty Roundtable featuring our Spring 2026 Honors faculty.

This event is a great opportunity to meet the professors behind Honors courses and learn more about the topics they’re passionate about. Hear why they teach the subjects they do, what their research and interests look like outside the classroom, and what it’s like to be part of the University Honors Program.

If you’re curious about Honors at SIU, this is the perfect chance to connect, ask questions, and get a closer look at the experience.
