The Honors Program at Minnesota State University, Mankato Developing leaders, researchers, and culturally engaged citizens through reflection and electronic portfolio creation.

Minnesota State Mankato’s Honors Program challenges motivated students to take their college experience further than they thought possible. They will develop the ability to solve problems, the skills to tackle tough jobs and the courage to engage in difficult discussions. They will cultivate the desire to seek new knowledge and to explore new places. They will become widely recognized, renowned, prominent, distinguished leaders, researchers and global citizens who are able to bring about change in the world, no matter what their chosen discipline may be. The program includes classes designed specifically for honors students as well as a variety of co-curricular activities to enrich those classroom experiences. Students will have the opportunity to work with mentors, to take part in the University’s Undergraduate Research Conference and to be involved in a number of other events, seminars and activities on and off campus. Because they will have the opportunity to push themselves to do more here at Minnesota State Mankato, they will be ready to push for success in the real world as well.

On Friday, October 9th, Honors Program senior Naomi Seifried (Creative Writing '27) and Honors Program alumnus and current Graduate Assistant Rosh*t Niraula (Computer Science '24) facilitated a Q&A session with Dr. Elizabeth M. Adams. This session was the culminating event of this year's Common Read series, which focused on Artificial Intelligence in the context of Dr. Joy Buolamwini’s book, "Unmasking AI." In connection with the Common Read, this semester's HONR 230: Honors Colloquium course focused on AI, particularly ethical considerations and leadership.

Thank you, Dr. Adams, for visiting campus! We are proud to partner with our colleagues throughout Library & Learning and across campus each year to help make the Common Read engaging and exciting.
