In addition, there are Honors Departmental Liaisons available to help you.

The Liaisons represent a broad range of majors and departments. Please contact them!
For those of you contemplating your Senior Honors Project, these Liaisons can help you tease out ideas and connect you to appropriate faculty sponsors for your project.
