The Nineteenth Annual History Honors Symposium was held on Friday, April 25, 2003 in the Vandenberg Room of the Michigan League. The graduating honors students gave presentations of their thesis research to an audience of their faculty advisors, family, and friends. Through the generosity of several donors, the Honors Committee was pleased to present the following awards for outstanding thesis writing and presentations.
This event is the culmination of three terms of rigorous research and writing. Professor John Carson supervised the senior class even as students worked with individual faculty advisors. The students worked in their junior year with Professors Carson and Paolo Squatriti. We thank this year's Honors Committee, Professors Damon Salesa and Rudolf Mrazek, the dedicated thesis advisors and thesis evaluators, and the award donors, for all making the History Honors Program a success once again.
