Each St. Mary’s Project is an independent, sustained endeavor supervised by a faculty mentor and presented in a public forum. Each project realizes several of the following goals of our honors college:
- The maintenance of high academic standards
- The creation of a sense of intellectual community in which academic disciplines are appreciated as both unique and interrelated
- The development of each student’s ability to think critically and creatively in order to foster curiosity and promote inquiry
- The encouragement of each student’s ability to identify personal educational goals and to select courses that will help to realize these goals
- An emphasis on learning not only in the classroom, but between faculty and students and between students and their peers
- Sponsorship of a project of quality as the culmination and means of assessing the whole of a student’s education
- High standards of intellectual and creative endeavor and a sense of responsibility and personal integrity that leads to meaningful performance in a world that is complex and interdependent.
