Honors Colloquium
All SAS Honors Program students are required to complete at minimum one Honors Colloquium. Students who enter the SASHP as first-year students are required to complete a second Honors Colloquium, or an approved alternate: Byrne Seminar or a credit-bearing study abroad program/course.
The goal of the Honors Colloquium is to stimulate intellectual curiosity and discussion as well as provide students with an interdisciplinary approach to learning. Through discussions, lectures, film screenings, and museum visits, students will explore topics of social, scientific, and philosophical significance.

Images of a Beloved Community
What do Rutgers and the Honors Program mean to you? How would you convey those feelings through images? In this semester’s Honors Colloquium, we will explore how images have been used to depict communities and their values around the world, throughout history, and in different visual media. We will also consider how Rutgers already offers what President Holloway calls a “beloved community,” and what we can do to make it even stronger. Working in groups, we will create a set of images displaying what makes Rutgers and the Honors Program a beloved community for you.
