Senior Honors students to showcase capstone projects

A total of 19 Honors students will present their final Senior Honors projects on Tuesday-Thursday, April 22-24, beginning at 3:30 p.m. each day in Herbster Chapel.

Through the Honors 455 course, students have worked with a faculty mentor to deepen their understanding of a topic of compelling interest in their major. Their presentations will outline their methodology, research and theoretical analysis. Senior Honors projects are semester-long independent research projects designed to showcase the work of Honors Program students.

Good luck to everyone!
