Wouldn’t you like an opportunity to share your class or research project with other Honors students and administrators via a poster or presentation at a regional or national conference? Poster presentations are great resume-builders and they are also a good way to gain experience in making professional presentations. Each year, Texas Tech University Honors faculty and staff travel with Honors students to GPHC and NCHC conferences to present at the regional and national levels.

The Honors College will host students who have not attended GPHC in the past. These students will not be required to conduct a presentation or present a poster at this conference. However, preference will be given to students who will present a paper or poster.

Students interested in attending the GPHC or NCHC conferences must submit an application to the Honors College by January 31st of each year. Students who present at GPHC are then eligible to attend the National Collegiate Honors Council conference the following fall. Costs for lodging, transportation, registration and most meals will be covered by the Honors College for those posters or presentations submitted to the Honors College and accepted by the conference.
