Read About Our Thesis Symposium

Yellow, black,and white banner for the 2024 Senior Thesis Symposium

At the Honors College Senior Symposium we celebrate our students and their accomplishments and recognize the dedication of the faculty who mentor them.

The Senior Symposium starts with a conference-style opportunity to see student research through panel presentations, posters, and slides. From 1 to 3.15 pm, guests and students will hear directly from the students, and have a chance to ask questions to learn more from Honors students who have developed expertise over their college years.  

From 3.30 to 5 pm we will move to our Medallion ceremony where we recognize each student with a personalized acknowledgement and a medallion. We also thank the mentors for their dedication to each Honors student. A reception with light hors d'oeuvres follows the ceremony.


We invite the University community, along with family, friends, faculty, and staff, to join us as we commend our students and thank our faculty.
