The Honors Colloquy Offers Another Quarter of "Opening Doors" 

Next quarter's Honors Colloquy again centers on the theme of "Opening Doors."  We will begin with HCC graduate Ted Colby, now a 4.0 student at Seattle University, telling his own story of getting doors to open.  The rest of April will feature three distinguished female voices, Justice Bobbe Bridge, Dr. Mara Adelman, and Dr. Ann Marie Kimball, recounting the doors they have encountered and worked their way through in the process of becoming a Washington State Supreme Court Justice, a Seattle University tenured professor in Intercultural Communication, and the University of Washington Director of Community Medicine. 

Colloquy means conversation.  Come engage the experts in regard to "opening doors," how to recognize an opening door when you see it, how to get doors to open.  Anyone interested will be encouraged to join in.  Colloquy presentations usually take place on Wednesdays at 1:10 p.m. in Building 7.  The are open to the public.
