Sociology Honors Thesis Symposium

Sociology Honors Thesis Symposium

During this symposium, members of the 2023 Sociology Honors Thesis Program Cohort will share their year-long original research projects.

The Sociology Honors Thesis Program is a year-long commitment made by ambitious students of senior standing to develop and undertake original research under the close mentorship of faculty. During this event, we will showcase the work performed by our 2023 Honors Cohort through formal research presentations held in Seigle Hall, Room 205. The event will conclude with a reception in nearby Suite 213, celebrating the cohort's completion of the program and next steps. 

This event is open to all members of the WashU Sociology community (faculty, staff, and students), and invited guests of the presenters. RSVPs to sociology@wustl.edu are encouraged.
