The Honors Journal Release Event : April 24th
The Honors Journal is an interdisciplinary, student-run journal published annually by the Honors Program. The Editorial Board of 20 students has worked tirelessly the past school year to create a journal showcasing the best CU undergraduate work. The Journal combines many academic fields, like art, architecture, business, creative nonfiction, engineering, fiction, gender & ethnic studies, humanities, natural sciences, open media, poetry and social sciences — making it accessible for everyone to enjoy.

The annual Honors Journal Release Event is this Tuesday, April 24th at 6pm in the British and Irish Study Room at Norlin Library. This extravagant event is open to anyone, and is a great chance to pick up a new copy of the Journal and hear published students speak on behalf of their work. Food, drinks, music and showcased art … make sure to come check it out! Plus, this counts as an event for the Honors Scholars Program.

As a sneak peek, here is the cover art for this year’s Journal: Van Gogh’s Freedom by Erma Swartz
“The masterpiece is in the motion. There is no image without the movement behind the stroke of paint. When I paint, my process overcomes my entire body. It is not so much an image based practice, but a playful dance that occurs between my fingers, the canvas and the paint. The way the colors and textures work together to create something pleasant for the eye is the product of a long ballet that is rarely ever planned, yet somehow releases something emotional, truthful and colorful onto a canvas. This work specifically has been the result of a slow progression into abstraction that began almost ten years ago. Within each piece, the viewer can feel only what they themselves project upon the work. It is my hope the all that can be seen of myself is the movement.”
