Meeting of the Minds: The Western Regional Honors Conference

This Thursday, more than 30 different schools from across the west and the Marshall Islands will be at the University of Montana’s campus for the Western Regional Honors Council Conference. UM's Davidson Honors College applied to host the event five years ago and are now getting their chance to shine.

Students from the honors college are doing many different types of presentations ranging from academic topics to presenting their own original pieces of artwork. In addition, the event's keynote speech will be delivered by author and educator Hank Green.
