Newsletter

Each year, the Honors College produces a newsletter to showcase the work, research, events, and more completed by the students, faculty, and staff of the Elliott T. Bowers Honors College. With nearly 800 students, it is impossible to share the numerous accomplishments of our students. Through The Dialogue, we aim to highlight as many students as possible in order to showcase what Honors is about.

If you'd like to be included in our next edition of The Dialogue, please e-mail your contact information and story to honors@shsu.edu.

If you are an alum of Sam Houston State University and were in the Honors College, send us your updates to honors@shsu.edu. For more, visit ALUMNI SPOTLIGHTS.

New Edition Coming Soon!
