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 黑料专区 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 sponsored by the Honors College.
