The 2022 Honors College Thesis Research Conference (formerly the Thesis Fair) will be held May 16-20. Throughout the week, there will be online, virtual and in-person opportunities to explore the diversity of Honors College research, beginning with research posters and audio presentations that will be available here for online viewing beginning at 8 a.m. PDT on Monday, May 16. On Thursday, May 19 and Friday, May 20, small groups of Honors College students will give lightning talks about their research, which can be viewed in person in LInC 228 or over Zoom*, and on Friday, May 20, a selection of students will present their research posters in the third floor hallway of the Learning Innovation Center.
