The Program in International and Comparative Studies invites you to the International Studies Honors thesis defense. Our students spent the last year working on a Senior Honors thesis in International Studies and starting on April 15, they will be presenting their work. Writing an Honors Thesis is a huge commitment, and we congratulate all students in the 2016 cohort on their achievements. All sessions are open to the public.
