Senior Thesis Defenses Begin

Professor Veseth's Senior Thesis Seminar will begin thesis defenses next Thursday. Here is the schedule of thesis presentations. There is limited room for visitors in Mc305 where the defense will take place. The first defense on each day will begin at 2pm and the second promptly at 2:40. Visitors may not come and go during a thesis defense as this is rude and disruptive.
