Our junior honors students will be doing poster presentations of their thesis research. Please join us at any time during the class (1:00-3:30) to hear them give their five-minute talks, ask them questions, and give them constructive feedback that will be incorporated into their final thesis drafts.Undergraduates are welcome to come, especially freshmen and sophomores who might be interested in joining the departmental honors program in the future. There will be pizza and soda!
