MU Honors College hosts the “Honors Unlimited” faculty lecture series on Zoom every other Thursday at noon. The series is part of the college’s outreach program focused on students, alumni and the Columbia community.
J.D. Bowers, director of MU Honors College, was looking to expand campus-based events in teaching and learning while keeping everyone safe. Bowers decided to look inward to MU faculty for the new lecture series.
“One of the things that the pandemic has taken away, in an academic realm, is campus speakers,” Bowers said. “At the same time, we were stifled in some of our other efforts to increase outreach to our alumni and to our community partners. We’re uniting both of those things.”
