University Honors Program

The Honors project is potentially the most valuable component of an Honors education. Typically Honors students choose to do their projects in their area of study, but some will pick a topic of interest unrelated to their major.

The Honors Program requires that the project be presented at a poster presentation event. Poster presentations are held each semester. Most students present during their senior year, but may do so earlier if their honors project has been completed.

This site presents project descriptions and selected posters for Honors projects completed since the Fall 2015 semester.

Abstract

Throughout my years at Iowa State, I got to study Design and Chinese language and culture. I wanted to honor these classes and share the talents I am still developing years later by combining them—“May Your Wish Come True” is a very short story, illustrated with traditional watercolor paints and digitally edited with Adobe software, told in both Chinese calligraphy and English text for readers and audiences of both cultures. It’s a twist on a common folklore story, involving the Chinese Zodiac and why the cat is not included. After editing illustrations and content, the book was printed out and bound together to be fully presentable as a picture book.
