The Kentucky Honors Roundtable (KHR) is an association of honors programs and colleges from across the Commonwealth. KHR hosts conferences that provide honors scholars with opportunities to present scholarly and creative work and build community and professional networks. KHR also serves as a venue for Kentucky's honors directors, deans, administrators and faculty to share ideas about best practices.

We gather twice yearly. Interested participants should visit us here or on our social media for updates on the next opportunity to submit short proposals describing papers, posters, or creative projects. Students should talk with their Honors director about upcoming presentation opportunities. Our process asks students to submit proposals to their Honors program director for pre-approval. Students, unless you are instructed otherwise, your honors staff will register you for the conference. Please view additional instructions for authors here. Directors may submit proposals and rsvp attendance here.
WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING PROPOSALS!
The proposal deadline is Monday, February 2, 2026.

The Honors College at NKU inspires students, faculty, and staff by creating a bold, innovative environment in which to reshape the landscape of higher education. We see the Honors College as a laboratory of learning, where students, faculty members, and the broader community exceed the bounds of a conventional university education, recognize failure as necessary to learning and growth, and embrace creativity and curiosity as central to a transformative educational experience.
