With all that has been happening this semester, we wanted to make sure that we took a moment to give credit to ECL’s amazing honors thesis students. These students, in their final year, worked to produce roughly 35-80 pages of original research into a topic of their choosing.
While we are unable to recognize these students in person, we congratulate these students and their advisors!
Please read more about these students here.
