“The benefits of presenting are many. It is an opportunity for students to gain self-confidence. It strengthens a student’s resume for procuring a job or getting into graduate school,” said Professor of Religion and Director of the Dietrich Honors Institute Curt Thompson, Ph.D. “It demonstrates close working relationships between faculty and students. It shows the significant research students are engaged in as part of their academic work at Thiel College.”
