UConn’s Honors Thesis

Hi everyone!  Hina here- So I’m finally in my senior year of study!  It’s hard to believe I’ve already been at UConn for three years! This year, I’m completing my final requirements to graduate next semester.  One of the things I’m working on is my Honors thesis.

UConn’s Office of Student Services and Advocacy
