Follow KHR on social media for updates!

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, your honors staff will register you for the conference. Please view additional instructions for authors here. We are finalizing details for our Spring conference and are not taking submissions at this time. Directors and deans will submit approved abstracts using the online form when it becomes available. (Submit abstracts here or at the link at the top of the page.)
