Honors Day

Each spring, the Faculty Standards and Honors Committee and the Alpha Chi Honor Society sponsor an Honors Day at MMC. This is a day dedicated solely to celebrating excellence at our institution and building student awareness of the importance of intellectual achievement within the academic community. This day provides an opportunity to showcase the talents of individual faculty and the excellent work achieved in their classrooms through the sharing of scholarly work. The events of the day center on the Honors Colloquium, where selected students present research papers, scholarly works, creative projects (paintings, dramatic or dance performances), scientific projects or psychological experiments to the College community. Other events include ceremonies inducting deserving students into the College’s honor societies, awarding honors, the presentation of the Teaching Excellence Award, and a faculty panel of on-going scholarship presentations.
