Session Details:

Introduction to the Thesis - Led by Cynthia King

After progressing through your program's series of classes and working with a group of students and faculty in your studies of particular topics, many students find the solitary work of thesis research and writing to be extra challenging. There are many questions that arise, which we will explore in this workshop. Bring your notes and/or writing samples from your thesis/project, and we will help you take the next steps.

Broome Library and You: From Literature Review to Resources - Broome Library Can Help You Succeed- Led by Janet Pinkley and Kaela Casey

Post-baccalaureate students are often required to conduct a literature review as part of a research assignment or as part of their thesis. Learn more about the purpose of a literature review, as well as how to get started and how to utilize the library to conduct a thorough search to locate literature on your topic.
