Symposium Shines Spotlight on A&M-San Antonio Honors Program

Congratulations to Dr. Bill Bush, Professor of History and Director of the university's Honors program, on a successful event! And congrats also to Grace Opiela, one of our philosophy minors, who was awarded first place in the poster category for her research in psychology!

This was the program’s first time hosting the annual event.

The daylong event, coined “Open Minds, Open Futures,” was the third iteration of the symposium. Nine universities and community colleges presented 45 research projects, with individual awards handed out to recognize student achievements.

A&M-San Antonio students swept the first-, second-, and third-place awards in the research poster category for upper-division undergraduates."
