Marymount Manhattan College is hosting Honors Day on Wednesday, March 21 to celebrate intellectual and creative achievement. This day provides an opportunity to showcase the talents of students and their faculty mentors through the sharing of outstanding student work. The opening ceremony will begin at 9:45 a.m. in the Theresa Lang Theatre. Following Honors Day, prize-winning environmental journalist Andrew C. Revkin will deliver the Barry Commoner Environmental Lecture “Nine Billion People Plus One Planet Equals?” at 7:00 p.m. in the Great Hall.
Honors Day features the Honors Colloquium, which takes place throughout the afternoon in the College’s classrooms and performances spaces. Selected students will present research papers, scholarly works, creative projects (such as paintings and photographs, dramatic and dance performances, and videos), and the results of scientific projects conducted independently and in concert with faculty mentors. Marymount Manhattan students were invited to submit their scholarly works to the Academic Honors Committee for an opportunity to earn prizes and recognition during Honors Day.
The Barry Commoner Environmental Lecture Series has been established at Marymount Manhattan College through the gifts from the husband and wife team of Richard S. Berry and Lucy A. Commoner. These gifts have also created The Commoner Fund for Environmental Studies at the College.
