UT Tyler Honors Program
About the Lyceum
The Lyceum is the University of Texas at Tyler's largest student research showcase.
The term "Lyceum" refers to Aristotle's school in ancient Athens. Following in this tradition, the Lyceum at UT Tyler serves as a opportunity for students to showcase their original research and work to the larger community. This annual event is held in the spring of each year and co-sponsored by the Honors Program and the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning.
The 7th annual Lyceum Research Showcase was held April 22nd, 2022 in the University Center.
