For the last five years, Whitworth Honors has used old COVID plexiglass screens as research poster presentation boards. This One Pine Day, consider donating to ensure our Honors students have sturdier, more professional, and multi-use presentation boards in the coming years.
This Fall semester went by fast! With many speakers on campus, a new Democracy Lab, Honors Lunches galore, a new Co-Director Joy York, Banned Books week, many literary journals, and mentorship opportunities it’s no surprise we lost track of time!
Whitworth’s active Sigma Tau Delta chapter had five students accepted to present at the 2026 Convention in New Orleans!
Whitworth’s primary goal as an institution is to educate the ‘Mind and Heart’ of its students, but further than that, the Honors Program wants students to thrive in the world they are stepping into. A crucial part of that is in movement and education of the body, in addition to the trademarked ‘mind and heart.’
There has been a new initiative within the Honors Program to emphasize peer mentorship. Within the last few weeks, Honors Junior and Senior mentors met with their underclassmen mentees.
Whitworth is the proud host of a literary journal called Script. Script is a completely student-run journal that has been producing editions since 1987, and this year’s edition is collecting submissions from several new categories.

A core part of the Honors Program here at Whitworth is our final capstone project.
Whitworth traditionally hosts a large selection of speakers for students, visitors, and faculty to hear and learn from. Honors students, in particular, will find these experiences valuable and instructional.
The Honors Program had its first Honors Lunch Network of the Fall 2025 Semester. We look forward to where our discussions will take us!
