Many such challenges are structural: perpetual budgetary constraints, changing expectations about the role of high education and the "return" it ought to provide to the student, and the changing technological landscape of higher education and society more generally. The contributors here examine the structural challenges honors education currently faces and those forces it is likely to confront in the future, offering insights about how honors might respond creatively to these present and future challenges.
