At the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, every student culminates their academic journey with an honors thesis or senior project—an experience that transforms years of learning into a meaningful, personal achievement. Guided by a dedicated faculty advisor and a second reader, each student explores a topic they are truly passionate about, making the thesis not just a requirement, but one of the most fulfilling and memorable parts of their college experience. With their advisor's consent, the thesis is archived in the repository and goes on to support new research around the world.
