When an Honors Capstone project is completed, it is presented to the Blagg-Huey Library Special Collections to be included in the university archives. Honors Students and faculty have the privilege to explore these capstone projects in person or digitally.
Members of the Honors Advisory Council subcommittee vote on each submission and the winning capstone is published in the Honors Research Journal, Off the Quill. The student is also recognized at the annual Honors Awards ceremony with a special plaque honoring their achievement and are included on the "Capstone of the Year" plaque in the Honors Programs office.

Dr. Sarah McIntire was Professor and Chair Emerita at Texas Woman's University and was a leader in the Denton community. She is remembered by all who knew her as a strong advocate for women's education, especially in the sciences.
Dr. McIntire spent the majority of her career studying Helicobacter pylori, the causative agent of gastric ulcers. She supervised over 150 students, graduate and undergraduate, during her academic tenure and is credited by all for their successes. Her devotion to her field of microbiology, TWU's Biology Department and Honors Programs, her students and the education of women will be long remembered and missed.
