Join us for our celebratory end-of-year colloquium, where graduating seniors will present their completed thesis research. This event offers current thesis writers a unique chance to learn from their peers’ experiences by hearing how projects evolved from proposals to finished work, discovering research strategies that succeeded (and those that changed), and gaining insight into what it takes to bring a major independent project to life.

Please register here if you would like to attend this event.
