The Honors Lecture Speaker
A special feature of our division is selecting
one of our members to present an Honors Lecture in a special session at the
summer convention. Not only does the Honors Lecture provide our division with
a way of honoring a special member and hear that person's insights but the text
of that speech is reprinted in Scholastic Source and contributes to understanding
of the scholastic journalism field.
