The University of Maine at Farmington Honors Journal began with the simple idea of creating a space where students across all disciplines could display their best work. Often, classes revolve around students producing work, turning it in for a grade, and never returning to it again. In each student’s work, there is so much potential to grow and so much room for interaction with the ideas of their peers. The process of creating this first edition of the Honors Journal involved a lot of questions that we would solve along the way, but from the beginning we knew we wanted to push students to think of their essays, creative works, and art as more than assignments: we wanted the University’s honors students to show the campus what they are capable of.
