Founded in 1988, the EKU Honors Program makes the best intellectual resources at EKU available to a limited group of talented and motivated students. Each year, more students from the EKU Honors Program present at the annual meeting of the National Collegiate Honors Council than do students from any other honors program in the nation.

Lots of photos from the big EKU Honors "Creative Imagination: Life and Death" show that capped off a fabulous Honors Celebration Day on Wednesday. This has become a beloved annual tradition in our honors community. First-year honors students from Julie Hensley's and Bernardo Scarambone's HON 104 Creative Arts Learning Community seminar shared their final projects and other works from throughout the semester.
