At this time, the Honors College is proud to honor the following students for their outstanding work leading up to and during UIC Impact and Research Week 2021.
In addition, we once again have a tie for one of the top three spots!
As a result of this hard work, each of the four are being recognized as the Honors College's Best-in-Show.
These titles bear great significance as each student presentation was adjudicated by 3 faculty, staff, and alumni judges as it was a fierce competition, with 225 presentations, many of which scored very high, and as such we hope you will join us in a virtual round of applause for our winners!
