Join us for a roundtable with four Harvard College seniors who have successfully completed their theses after conducting CES-funded research in Europe. These seniors will discuss their findings, meditate on lessons learned during their research and writing, and field questions from the audience, which will include faculty commentators.

All students, CES affiliates, and Harvard community members are welcome. We particularly encourage students to attend to celebrate their classmates’ work and hear about how to tackle their own theses.

Refreshments will be provided.
