Honors Projects

We are dedicated to publishing the scholarship of Macalester faculty, staff, and students through an open access model that allows everyone to share in knowledge. To learn more about our publishing program, including policies and procedures, go to our website Publishing@Mac. We have been publishing Honors projects on the web since 2005. Publishing your Honors project is an opportunity to share your scholarship or creative endeavor with the world. You are not required to publish your Honors project, although it is highly encouraged. Honors projects are among the most popular downloads in our repository. People can find Honors projects in our repository and through search engines such as Google and Google Scholar.
