Recent Honors Thesis Advisors

The Honors Program is indebted to faculty members who supervise Senior Honors Projects, patiently sharing their knowledge and expertise with new undergraduate scholars. The Honors Program stresses the importance of mentorship at all levels, but this is surely the most powerful and important of such relationships.

Below we have compiled a list of faculty thesis who have worked with the Honors Students in recent years. This list is here in part for students to search, but also as an acknowledgement of the dedication of these individuals to excellence in undergraduate education.
