2023 Tennessee Collegiate Honors Council Annual Conference at APSU

Submissions are now closed!  We look forward to seeing you at the conference.

As of 4 December, the submission and registration forms are functioning correctly.  Thank you for your patience. Please submit your proposals and complete your registration.  

Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN is pleased to welcome Honors students from across the state to the annual conference of the TCHC on 10 - 11 February. 

The theme for this year's conference is simple: Joy.  We want to celebrate the joyous moments in scientific and mathematical discovery, in the presentation of the various creative arts, in language and culture studies, in psychology, in sociology, and in all aspects of human endeavor.  Joy is critical for good health both mental and physical. Just as we need to get exercise and drink water, we also need to experience a little joy every day!  

Submissions of papers and posters are invited here.  Papers should be a maximum of 15 minutes (roughly 6 typed, double-spaced pages when read at a moderate pace) and may address any aspect of the topic.  Posters may be presented either on an easel or on a table and should be mounted accordingly.    

The submission form for papers and posters can be found at the bottom of this page.  Deadline for submissions is 31 December, 2022.

Registration fee for students is $20.00 for each student; for all others, the registration fee is $40.00 per person.  Payment may be made by credit card through the APSU website here.

Please note that you will need to make a separate payment for each individual attending.

You may also pay by bringing a check to the conference made out to Austin Peay State University, and putting TCHC 2023 in the memo line.
