Alumni Testimonials
"At first, I didn’t comprehend the wealth of resources and guidance available in the Honors College. The thesis was daunting initially but once I took a hands-on approach to my academic career, everything followed naturally. My thesis experience created networking opportunities, learning experiences, lasting connections and made me an official published author!"
Lorenzo Curtis, ’23, Ecological Engineering
"Honors College faculty are some of the most enthusiastic professors I have had the privilege to study with. They bring a refreshing, exciting energy to class and clearly care deeply about their students and their field."
Grace Knutsen, '24, History, German and French
“For my honors thesis, I really wanted to pursue this idea around ‘influencers’ that we see on social media and how they impact our purchase decisions, which is all we talk about in retail now. But at the time of writing my thesis, ‘influencer’ wasn’t even a word that I could use. When I pitched my research, no one in the faculty understood the concept I was trying to go after.”
Marisa Chen, '20, Merchandising Management
