Subject: Graduation with Thesis Honors

Date: March 1, 1999

Students who have participated in clinical or basic science research, or who have ongoing projects, are eligible for graduation with Thesis Honors. This achievement is designated on the diploma, the academic transcript, and recognized at the graduation ceremonies. Briefly, the requirements for Thesis Honors include compiling results or manuscript(s) into a short thesis that is submitted to the Research and Honors Committee, and orally defended.

I have encouraged all students who have participated in these activities to register for this program. If you are aware of any students whom you feel would be eligible for this program (e.g., have worked in your laboratory or on clinical projects in your department) and could graduate with Thesis Honors, please inform the Research and Honors Committee through completion of this form and its return to me by March 31, 2000. The Student Research and Honors Committee then will contact all students who have not yet met with us to discuss thesis guidelines and format, discuss potential problems, and evaluate their progress.
