Honors Thesis

Isenberg school of management honors thesis or honors seminar options available to isenberg students in commonwealth honors college.

Isenberg School of Management majors pursuing Departmental Honors I the Commonwealth Honors College (CHC) must complete a six-credit Isenberg (ISOM) Honors Thesis. Business majors in CHC who are completing Multidisciplinary Honors can partake in an ISOM Honors Thesis or other CHC Honors Thesis they might be eligible to take, see Honors Thesis | Commonwealth Honors College (umass.edu) for further information. 

Note that the Accounting major does not have Departmental Honors but Accounting students can pursue the Multidisciplinary Honors option through CHC and can also partake in (ISOM) Honors Thesis options.

Isenberg students can complete the ISOM Honors Thesis requirement in one of two ways: (1) Completing an Individually Contracted Honors Thesis ; or (2) Completing a Thesis Seminar . Here is a brief overview of the available options for satisfying the ISOM Honors Thesis requirement:

The honors thesis and project options are designed to introduce students to aspects of independent research usually conducted by graduate students and academic professionals. Normally, students who intend to complete an honors thesis or project will sign up for “Honors Research” (499Y) in the fall, followed by “Honors Thesis” (499T) or “Honors Project” (499P) in the spring. This process requires several steps including the convening of a two-person Thesis Committee, which must include an ISOM Faculty Committee Chair and a Committee Member. Please see Individually Contracted Honors Thesis | Commonwealth Honors College (umass.edu) for further information.

ISOM Thesis Seminars are an alternative to completing a Individually Contracted Thesis or Project. They provide students with an opportunity to explore a topic in depth whether the focus is within the major or interdisciplinary in nature. Each of the ISOM Thesis Seminars consists of two courses.

The following approved Honors Capstone Experience course option exists within the Isenberg School:

• SCH-MGMT 499C-D: Business Strategy and Entrepreneurial Leadership .

The SCH-MGMT 499C-D option is a two-semester (Fall & Spring) Honors Thesis Seminar that occurs over the course of the academic year. Students must complete both semesters of the seminar to satisfy CHC’s Honors Thesis requirement. This Thesis Seminar also fulfills the BBA Track Integrative Experience (IE) through the second semester course (SCH-MGMT 499D).  This Thesis Seminar is designed to familiarize students with cutting edge ideas in strategic management of for-profit companies. It is an extension and an embellishment of the BBA Track Integrative Experience Strategy course (MANAGMNT 494BI).  As such, the objectives of this course include a conceptual understanding of business strategy fundamentals as well as a hands-on and practical grasp of what it means to strategically lead business organizations. During the fall semester, students will consolidate their knowledge from the courses they have already taken, and they will work intensively in team projects. By the end of the semester, students will be ready with the skills and mental orientation they will need to successfully complete the requirements of the seminar in the spring semester (SCH-MGMT 499D). That is, during the second semester of this year-long seminar, students will think through the business areas that interest them, work collaboratively in a small-team environment to research the interest areas broadly, focus on one and distill down to clear research questions, research the chosen area more deeply, and write up the research in a final thesis/paper. Both the fall and the spring semesters are designed such that there is extensive interaction and collaboration among the students in the class. Initiative and independence, curiosity and collaboration, and timeliness and professionalism are highly prized by the students who have taken this class in the past.

This year-long experience requires an application and is capped at 12 students. Students considering this option should also have back-up plans as acceptance is not guaranteed.  Applications for SCH-MGMT 499C-D will be sent to all Isenberg juniors in CHC via email on Monday, March 11th. Interested students should complete the application no later than Friday, March 22d, at 12:00 p.m. Decisions will be e-mailed to applicants no later than Friday, April 5th.  You may contact John Aube at [email protected]  with any questions concerning the SCH-MGMT 499C-D Honors Thesis Seminar.

• SCH-MGMT499E-F:  Applied Research in Services Management .

The SCH-MGMT 499E-F option is a two-part Honors Thesis Seminar that occurs over the course of the academic year and students must complete both to satisfy CHC’s Honors Thesis requirement. This Thesis Seminar does NOT satisfy an Integrative Experience (IE) for Isenberg. SCH-MGMT 499E is taken in the fall term. It is designed to introduce the methods and approaches utilized to conduct research. Students work extensively with the professor and must come up with a topic for their project that will be completed in the following semester. SCH-MGMT 499F is taken in the spring term. The students who successfully complete the first part of the Thesis Seminar will carry out the proposed research projects under the supervision of the faculty member teaching the seminar.

To join this experience students can add SCH-MGMT 499E in the fall through SPIRE on a first come first serve basis. The course is capped at 15 students and cannot take more than this number. Questions regarding SCH-MGMT 499E-F may be directed to Dr. Muzzo Uysal at [email protected] . 

• MARKETNG 499J-K:  Marketing Honors Case Study and Honors Internship: Tools for Professional Success in Marketing .

The MARKETNG 499JK option is a two-part Honors Thesis Seminar that occurs in the fall semester only and students must complete both to satisfy CHC’s Honors Thesis requirement. This Thesis Seminar does NOT satisfy an Integrative Experience (IE) for Isenberg. This option is for Marketing majors. In some appropriate situations, non-Marketing Commonwealth Honors students will be considered.  The seminar focuses on applying the conceptual frameworks of marketing to real-world problems faced by actual companies. Each student, as part of a team, will have a specific marketing problem from a real company that requires investigation and solution over the course of the semester. Course meetings will mimic consulting firm staff meetings, rather than the traditional lecture/discussion format.  There will be significant discussion of marketing procedural issues around the projects during class meetings, helping students to develop proper methodologies, analysis and presentation skills while laying a foundation for achieving success in the business world. Students will gain a better understanding of themselves and the strengths and weaknesses they bring to an employer as well as the satisfaction of having a true impact on a business organization.

This experience requires an application. The course is capped at 12 students. Students considering this option should also have back-up plans. Applications for MARKETNG 499J-K will be sent to all Isenberg Marketing juniors in CHC via email in early March.   Application deadline is March 29 .   Interested students should follow the instructions provided in the email they will be receiving from the Marketing Department.  You may contact Prof. Heidi Bailey at  [email protected] ; Thomas Brashear-Alejandro at [email protected]  or Prof. Charles Schewe at  [email protected]  with any questions concerning the MARKETNG 499J-K Honors Thesis Seminar.  The class will be held on Wednesdays at 2:30pm in Isenberg N220.

There are other Honors Thesis experiences available at the University that allow students to complete the Multidisciplinary Honors through Commonwealth Honors College. These are offered through other colleges or through CHC. For a listing of other potential Honors Thesis Seminars go to the following site:

Honors Thesis

Students can substitute one of the course requirements for an honors thesis focused on disability. The thesis can be completed as an individually contracted thesis with a faculty member or through a thesis seminar . For the purposes of DDHS, the thesis can be a portfolio or research manuscript. You are encouraged to speak with your academic advisor to ensure that your thesis will also meet expectations for departmental honors, if applicable. Students should consult the DDHS program director to ensure their thesis topic is sufficiently focused on disability to substitute a course requirement.

THESIS SEMINARS

Below, you will find information on thesis seminars that are most relevant to DDHS students. The thesis seminar is an alternative to an individually contracted thesis. The end product can be the same, but the thesis seminar guides you through the process within a cohort. Unlike the individually contracted thesis option, you do not have to submit a proposal through PATHS for approval ahead of time. Instructor permission is typically required for registration in a thesis seminar. Almost all thesis seminars are full-year courses (4 credits per semester).

Readings and Research in Disability (HONORS 499CJ/DJ)

Instructor:  Ashley Woodman, Senior Lecturer, Psychological and Brain Sciences

Credits:  4 credits Fall, 4 credits Spring

To Enroll:  Instructor Consent required. Please e-mail  [email protected]  to schedule a meeting.

Description: In this course, students will explore disability through theory and research. Students will be introduced to conceptualizations of disability, models of disability, and historical perspectives as well as the intersection of disability with other social identities such as gender, sexuality, and race/ethnicity. First, students will be introduced to the definition and meaning of disability. Disability is a complex identity that can be viewed from a variety of social, cultural, historical, legal and political perspectives. Students will be introduced to conceptualizations of disability, models of disability, and historical perspectives as well as the intersection of disability with other social identities such as gender, sexuality, and race/ethnicity. Students will review and discuss the challenges of conducting research with people with disabilities. Students will read and critique contemporary research involving people with disabilities as well as research on perceptions of disability among people with and without disabilities. Throughout the course, students will be scaffolded to design and implement an independent research project related to disability. Students are encouraged to use existing, publicly available data, but may also collect their own data within the UMass or broader community. Students will be advised on an individual basis to design a research project that is ethical, realistic given time and resource constraints, and a novel contribution to the field.

Community Action for Social Change (SRVCLRNG 499C/D)

Instructor:  Ellen Correa, Senior Lecturer, Civic Engagement & Services Learning (CESL)

To Enroll:  Instructor Consent required. Please e-mail  [email protected]  to schedule a meeting to discuss your experience and background in civic/community engagement.

Description: This two-semester Honors Thesis Seminar is designed for seniors in the Commonwealth Honors College with recent experience in service-learning and/or community engagement who wish to deepen their praxis – the combination of theory and practice – within their chosen area of community work. Throughout the Fall and Spring semesters, students work both in the classroom and with a self-selected community partner and develop a collaborative civic/community engagement project. The civic/community engagement project will address a real-world issue or problem associated with the work of the community organization, group, or constituency. Guided by their community partner, students will complete a project that addresses an issue of justice, equity, or social support for a particular constituency. Through the auspices of the class and under the direction of the community partner advisor, students will define and address the issue or problem, as well as communicate its significance to a public audience.

Student Health, Wellbeing & Campus Spaces (HONORS 499CP/DP)

Instructor:  Caryn Brause, Associate Professor of Architecture

To Enroll:  Instructor Consent required. Please contact  [email protected]  stating the reason for your interest in the course and provide a one-page writing sample.

Description: This two-semester, 8-credit Interdisciplinary Honors Thesis Seminar, we will explore current thinking on health and wellbeing in the built environment, with a focus on campus environments. Consideration of the impact of the built environment on health and well-being is an increasingly important priority in the design fields as well as in conversations concerning equity, public policy, public health, and education. These concerns are interrelated with issues of sustainability, resilience, and planetary wellbeing. We will read scholarly and practice literature, and examine case studies that center these topics, examine how different entities define, assess, and evaluate wellbeing in the built environment, and critically consider the challenges and opportunities for inclusively shaping campus environments. We will apply environmental theories, inquiry methods, and assessment strategies to understand the ways in which campus community members use and inhabit higher educational spaces and to propose improvements that support diverse student learning, development, and wellbeing.

Students from various majors are welcome – there are many topics ripe for student exploration, through writing, archival research, design and creative projects, and qualitative and quantitative studies. Workshops associated with research methods, writing, graphics, presentation skills, and other topics will be organized to align with Honors Thesis and Undergraduate Research Conference deadlines. Students will develop individual research proposals in the Fall and complete their Honors Theses in the Spring.

Health and Health Care Inequality in the United States (POLISCI 499CD/DD)

Instructor: Dean Robinson, Associate Professor, Political Science

Credits:  POLISCI 499C for 4 credits in fall and POLISCI 499D for 4 credits in spring.

To Enroll:  Instructor Consent Required. Contact  [email protected] .

Description: This course will help students develop capstone research topics concerning health inequality in the United States. Disadvantaged populations—racial minorities and people of lower socioeconomic status— face a higher burden of disease and death than their white, and more affluent, counterparts do. After an overview of the health care system in the United States compared to those of four other advanced, industrial democracies, this course will then consider insights from social epidemiology about the factors that drive disparities in health outcomes. Social epidemiologists show that lower social status consistently predicts health status today and in the past. The mechanism is thought to be the deleterious consequences of chronic stress, which impairs immune function over time. Numerous studies also show that the subjective experience of racial discrimination is bad for health. Students will have an opportunity to develop research topics that consider the relative health disadvantage of blacks and other minority populations, as well as why white Americans tend to do worse than their European counterparts. The answers reflect problems of the US health care system, and relate to the broader “social determinants” of illness and disease. These, in turn, ultimately reflect political inequalities that affect the pattern of health for Americans in general. The focus material for this part of the class will emphasis political and policy determinants of health and other indicators. We will facilitate this discussion by first revisiting the health disadvantage Americans experience relative to their wealthy nation counterparts.

2022 Honors Thesis Prize Recipient

Maxwell mcdermott, "political representation in the city of boston, 1822 – 2022"  .

Why did you choose your thesis project? 

When I started in January 2021 (I wrote mine from spring to summer, which is unusual, but Professor Musgrave was willing to accommodate it as the Political Science Honors Program Director), I wanted to study local government: I knew nothing about this area, which I knew was home to some of the conflicts with the highest stakes there are. Policies on affordable housing, policing, and sanitation that get decided in city council rooms and mayors' offices can mean the difference between life and death and economic security or poverty for millions of people. At the same time, I was reading coverage of the beginning of what was clearly going to be an exceptional race for the Boston mayor's office. I came across Hometown Inequality, the book that Professor Ray La Raja co-wrote to investigate inequality in American local government. I asked him for his help in applying scholarship on local politics to better understand the conflicts over power and belonging that were starting to play out in Boston. He agreed, helped me define the questions I needed to ask, and provided guidance that let me stay focused throughout the year. 

What was the most challenging part of writing the thesis? 

Coming up with fun ideas for projects isn't hard. Narrowing your focus to a single strong idea is really challenging. It took discipline to eventually stop myself from exploring all the fascinating questions in local politics and start choosing one set of hypotheses that I'd have to either prove or disprove. I could only start making that choice after months of research, and I think a lot of other students probably feel the same. It's intimidating to have to let some ideas go: sometimes you'll have to cut yourself off from research in an area that you had invested time and effort into. You have to choose a final set of questions knowing your answers may change by the time you finish writing. But I don't regret having to go through any of that! It's part of the process of completing something as big as a thesis.  What was the most rewarding part of writing the thesis? 

Studying local politics in the middle of a historic election in my region's biggest city was a lucky coincidence, and I'm glad I did it when I had the chance. I read two centuries of theories about local elections and power in city governments while watching those ideas play out in reality each day when checking the progress of the mayoral and city council campaigns in the Boston Globe. Studying something with high stakes that felt real and relevant gave energy to the entire process, and I never had trouble convincing myself to get through all of the work. I think that all of us in New England love Boston and take pride in it as a symbol of progress and accomplishment, and I'll always appreciate being able to better understand why democracy does and doesn't work for all the communities that call it home. That's what's so great about studying political science: understanding how power in a certain environment came to be is the first step to realizing that anything can change, and to feeling like you can participate in change and help move your community towards a better future.  

2022 Honors Thesis Prize Honorable Mention

Tamar stollman, "food for change: increasing access and implementing justic in western massachusettes"  .

Tamar Stollman is a recent graduate from UMass Amherst who earned a dual degree in political science and BDIC in (Individual Concentration) in International Social Justice and a minor in Spanish. Throughout her time at the university, Tamar worked as a peer mentor in the residential halls and was a staunch advocate for student rights through her work in SGA, the RA/PM Union, and the SBS Pathways Center. Moving forward, Tamar will be travelling to Spain for the following academic year to teach English.  

Why did you choose your thesis project?  

I had been brainstorming ideas for my senior thesis since my first semester at UMass. Since then, my academic concentrations changed and my passions were realized. I thought I wanted to complete an individually contracted thesis project, but when I saw that the department of communications was offering a thesis seminar called "Food as/and Communication" I jumped on the opportunity to combine my past academic and community-based justice work with my love for food. After more brainstorming and visiting food-justice organizations based in the Valley in August 2021, I knew that I wanted to learn more and devote my senior year to learning directly from food justice organizers themselves about their work, perspectives, and accomplishments.  

The most challenging part of writing the thesis was synthesizing. I completed five interviews with five very different organizations, each with different priorities and missions, that embraced various perspectives about community organizing, the American food system, and social justice in general. After compiling five hours’ worth of interview material, I needed to figure out how to make sense of it and synthesize it into a piece of written work. It took me weeks of brainstorming and reworking to create a narrative that could string through the entire thesis and incorporate the various elements from the organizations while emphasizing their diversity.  

What was the most rewarding part of writing the thesis?  

I absolutely loved conducting the interviews with leaders of various food justice organizations in Western Massachusetts. Each interviewee shared vast knowledge and wisdom of their lived experiences organizing for food justice, teaching me the ins and outs of what it means to be a food justice organizer. I found such a passion and dedication to the work of the participants that it has inspired me to continue seeking out food justice organizing wherever I may be. Furthermore, recognizing the perils of the global and American food systems is bleak, especially in a time of constant political and economic instability and climate disaster. However, seeing the impacts of the work that is being done in this small corner of the world gives me hope for the future, and shows me that there actually is something that I can do to make the world a better place.

Developing a Love of Scientific Research Was Key to Success for Renee Owen `23

By nina prenosil.

During her time as an undergraduate Renee Owen, a 2023 graduate from Commonwealth Honors College, studied both  biology and  German – and felt that this interdisciplinary approach was the perfect pairing that ultimately allowed her to continue her research abroad in Leipzig, Germany. 

Renee feels that being in the college played a huge role in developing her love of scientific research. 

“I started off kind of not really knowing what I wanted to do or what communities I wanted to join around campus. And then I applied for a research position my junior year, and I won an award…I really think that my being in the Honors College and getting skills from my smaller classes definitely helped me get that award,” she said.

Renee’s thesis was about  PFAS, which is a group of environmentally persistent chemicals . She and her research partner, Claire, studied these chemicals in zebrafish and looked at how it affects pancreas development. Upon completion of her thesis project, Renee presented her findings at the  Massachusetts Undergraduate Research Conference (MassURC) and still continues to work with zebrafish in Germany.

“I presented that work at MassURC... and I feel like that was my first time really getting to present my work and having to communicate scientifically to a lot of people, which I think helped me get set up for the future,” she explained.

Renee had been taking German classes since high school and was excited to continue her studies in college. 

“At UMass, there's this specific program that connects STEM and science fields to learning German.  It's called iSTEP , and you can get your German studies degree with less credits, but you can also take STEM-related classes in German. And that's what I did.”

Because of Renee’s choice to do an interdisciplinary program at UMass, she was able to seamlessly transition her studies to Germany. She spoke about how without the connections she made within the German program and having passed the language requirement, she would not be where she is today. She also noted that frequently people were skeptical of why she chose to study two seemingly unrelated majors. If she had one piece of advice it would be to, “Keep an open mind, and do what you like to do, because I always had people questioning why I was doing German studies, and now I'm studying in Germany and I am able to do that because of my experience being interdisciplinary in school.” 

Abroad in Germany

Renee is doing her graduate studies in Germany thanks to a DAAD scholarship , a type of award for academic and research trips within Germany. She obtained the scholarship by working with the Office of National Scholarship Advising (ONSA) at UMass , and is now working towards obtaining her master's degree in July 2024. Renee is currently working in two research labs, one of which she found out about while she was still at UMass. The first project once again studies how PFAS interacts with the GABA receptor to induce hyperactive movement by looking at larval zebrafish. Her second project is in collaboration with a  European chemical safety regulation organization called PARC , and here she looks at how PFAS mixtures affect neurodevelopment. 

All of Renee’s undergraduate research has been tied together with her research abroad. She mentioned that her principal investigator while at UMass,  Rolf Karlstrom , is a developmental neuroscientist – and the lab work she completed with him focused on signaling pathways in zebrafish. 

Now at the  Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research in Leipzig, Germany , Renee is studying PFAS compounds in zebrafish and looking at how they affect neurodevelopment. 

Aside from her academic focus while abroad, Renee said that moving away has opened her mind to different cultural experiences. Growing up just an hour away from UMass, Renee had never lived anywhere else. Living and learning in Germany has allowed her the opportunity to meet new people with new perspectives, further her career in a way she never imagined, and network within the field of science. 

Reflecting on Renee’s time at UMass

While reminiscing about her time at UMass, Renee remembered one of her favorite memories from her time as an undergraduate. One summer while she was living in Amherst, she and her research partner, Claire, were able to mentor three high school students through a program that their lab sponsored. 

“That experience was just super memorable to me because I was able to pass on my knowledge to these high school students who came in without really knowing anything about biology. And then, me and Claire were able to teach them so much, and they evolved so much over two months,” she explained. 

“And so I feel like getting to spread that love of science was really cool. And being the mentor when I'm usually the mentee was really nice for me. So I think that was a really formative experience for me, one that I still think about,” she added.

Renee gave all of her thanks to her mentors at UMass, Rolf Karlstrom and  Alicia Timme-Laragy . She worked under both of them for her lab collaborations, and said that they impacted her love for science and desire to continue research into the future. 

“They really fostered my love of toxicology, and also looking at things from multiple perspectives, since one of them is a toxicologist and one of them is a developmental biologist. I got a lot of different perspectives and input on my work, and they gave me a second home on campus.” 

Renee Owen's academic journey through Commonwealth Honors College at UMass and her subsequent experiences in Germany illustrate the profound impact of interdisciplinary education, research opportunities, language proficiency, and mentorship. By embracing diverse academic interests, seizing research opportunities, and cultivating meaningful connections within academic communities, Renee has found success.

Honors Thesis

Isenberg school of management honors thesis or honors seminar options available to isenberg students in commonwealth honors college.

Isenberg School of Management majors pursuing Departmental Honors I the Commonwealth Honors College (CHC) must complete a six-credit Isenberg (ISOM) Honors Thesis. Business majors in CHC who are completing Multidisciplinary Honors can partake in an ISOM Honors Thesis or other CHC Honors Thesis they might be eligible to take, see Honors Thesis | Commonwealth Honors College (umass.edu) for further information. 

Note that the Accounting major does not have Departmental Honors but Accounting students can pursue the Multidisciplinary Honors option through CHC and can also partake in (ISOM) Honors Thesis options.

Isenberg students can complete the ISOM Honors Thesis requirement in one of two ways: (1) Completing an Individually Contracted Honors Thesis ; or (2) Completing a Thesis Seminar . Here is a brief overview of the available options for satisfying the ISOM Honors Thesis requirement:

The honors thesis and project options are designed to introduce students to aspects of independent research usually conducted by graduate students and academic professionals. Normally, students who intend to complete an honors thesis or project will sign up for “Honors Research” (499Y) in the fall, followed by “Honors Thesis” (499T) or “Honors Project” (499P) in the spring. This process requires several steps including the convening of a two-person Thesis Committee, which must include an ISOM Faculty Committee Chair and a Committee Member. Please see Individually Contracted Honors Thesis | Commonwealth Honors College (umass.edu) for further information.

ISOM Thesis Seminars are an alternative to completing a Individually Contracted Thesis or Project. They provide students with an opportunity to explore a topic in depth whether the focus is within the major or interdisciplinary in nature. Each of the ISOM Thesis Seminars consists of two courses.

The following approved Honors Capstone Experience course option exists within the Isenberg School:

• SCH-MGMT 499C-D: Business Strategy and Entrepreneurial Leadership .

The SCH-MGMT 499C-D option is a two-part Honors Thesis Seminar that occurs over the course of the academic year and students must complete both to satisfy CHC’s Honors Thesis requirement. This Thesis Seminar also fulfills the BBA Track Integrative Experience (IE) through the second courses (SCH-MGMT 499D). This Thesis Seminar is designed to familiarize students with cutting edge ideas in strategic management of for-profit companies. It is an extension and an embellishment of the BBA Track Integrative Experience Strategy course (MANAGMNT 494BI).  As such, the objectives of this course include a conceptual understanding of business strategy fundamentals as well as hands-on and practical grasp of what it means to strategically lead business organizations. Concepts, books, speakers, and field trips will be spread throughout the fall semester. SCH-MGMT 499C (taken in the fall semester) will comprise an extensive review of prominent strands of thinking in Competitive Strategy. SCH-MGMT 499D (taken in the spring semester) will be focused on practical application of strategy concepts through forming teams, groupwork, and an extensive thesis/report.

This year-long experience requires an application and is capped at 12 students. Students considering this option should also have back-up plans as acceptance is not guaranteed. Applications for SCH-MGMT 499C-D will be sent to all Isenberg juniors in CHC via email on Monday, March 27. Interested students should complete the application no later than Friday, April 7, at 12:00 p.m. Decisions will be e-mailed to applicants no later than Friday, April 14. You may contact John Aube at [email protected]  with any questions concerning the SCH-MGMT 499C-D Honors Thesis Seminar.

• SCH-MGMT499E-F:  Applied Research in Services Management .

The SCH-MGMT 499E-F option is a two-part Honors Thesis Seminar that occurs over the course of the academic year and students must complete both to satisfy CHC’s Honors Thesis requirement. This Thesis Seminar does NOT satisfy an Integrative Experience (IE) for Isenberg. SCH-MGMT 499E is taken in the fall term. It is designed to introduce the methods and approaches utilized to conduct research. Students work extensively with the professor and must come up with a topic for their project that will be completed in the following semester. SCH-MGMT 499F is taken in the spring term. The students who successfully complete the first part of the Thesis Seminar will carry out the proposed research projects under the supervision of the faculty member teaching the seminar.

To join this experience students can add SCH-MGMT 499E in the fall through SPIRE on a first come first serve basis. The course is capped at 15 students and cannot take more than this number. Questions regarding SCH-MGMT 499E-F may be directed to Dr. Muzzo Uysal at [email protected] . 

• MARKETNG 499J-K:  Marketing Honors Case Study and Honors Internship: Tools for Professional Success in Marketing .

The MARKETNG 499JK option is a two-part Honors Thesis Seminar that occurs in the fall semester only and students must complete both to satisfy CHC’s Honors Thesis requirement. This Thesis Seminar does NOT satisfy an Integrative Experience (IE) for Isenberg.  This option is for Marketing majors. In some appropriate situations, non-Marketing Commonwealth Honors students will be considered.  The seminar focuses on applying the conceptual frameworks of marketing to real-world problems faced by actual companies. Each student, as part of a team, will have a specific marketing problem from a real company that requires investigation and solution over the course of the semester. Course meetings will mimic consulting firm staff meetings, rather than the traditional lecture/discussion format.  There will be significant discussion of marketing procedural issues around the projects during class meetings, helping students to develop proper methodologies, analysis and presentation skills while laying a foundation for achieving success in the business world. Students will gain a better understanding of themselves and the strengths and weaknesses they bring to an employer as well as the satisfaction of having a true impact on a business organization.

This experience requires an application. The course is capped at 12 students. Students considering this option should also have back-up plans. Applications for MARKETNG 499J-K will be sent to all Isenberg Marketing juniors in CHC via email in late March. Interested students should follow the instructions provided in the email they will be receiving from the Marketing Department. You may contact Prof. Heidi Bailey at [email protected] or Prof. Charles Schewe at [email protected] with any questions concerning the MARKETNG 499J-K Honors Thesis Seminar.

There are other Honors Thesis experiences available at the University that allow students to complete the Multidisciplinary Honors through Commonwealth Honors College. These are offered through other colleges or through CHC. For a listing of other potential Honors Thesis Seminars go to the following site:

There is nothing you MUST do as an undergrad in order to prepare for law school – no required classes or majors, no magic extracurricular activities.

Study what you love, pursue what you find meaningful, explore your interests.

You’ll find  pages of info on undergraduate preparation for law school right here .

• Learn how to be a good writer  – take classes in which you’ll write a lot and get good feedback on your writing.
• Maintain a strong GPA.   Studying what you love will make this much easier.
• Get to know your professors.   They’re an amazing resource, and the more they know about you, the better their eventual letters of recommendation can be.

Enrolling in law-related classes is NOT a prerequisite for getting into law school, but it may help you decide if law is the right path for you.

The list below can help you sample law in the classroom. This is NOT a complete list of all courses that touch on or provide background for understanding legal issues, only those most directly related to law (and policy, often). It is also limited to those classes offered this Spring. This list also does NOT indicate availability – classes may be full (check SPIRE). If you’re really interested in a class that’s already full, reach out to the instructor to inquire whether an override of enrollment limits is possible.

This list is in addition to ALL of the courses in the Legal Studies and Public Policy majors. It is NOT the same as the list of law-related electives for the Legal Studies major.

Did we miss a class you think should be on this list?  Please let us know.

Graduate student Michael Calzadilla awarded 2024 NASA Hubble Fellowship

Michael Calzadilla grew up in Tampa, Florida. As a first-generation college student, he earned his bachelor’s degree in physics from the University of South Florida in 2015. He subsequently crossed the pond to complete a master’s degree in astronomy as a Gates Cambridge scholar under the guidance of Professor Andrew Fabian at the University of Cambridge. Michael will complete his doctorate in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in May 2024 with his advisor Professor Michael McDonald .

Michael’s work focuses on multiwavelength observations of galaxy clusters to study the baryon cycle that drives the evolution of all galaxies. The largest galaxies residing in these clusters grow via material cooling from their hot atmospheres, which is balanced by feedback from star formation and active galactic nuclei. As part of the South Pole Telescope collaboration, Michael’s work is among the first to leverage recent Sunyaev-Zeldovich-based detections of galaxy clusters to observe this cycling of material out to unprecedented redshifts.

As a Hubble Fellow, Michael will develop machine learning techniques for characterizing the thousands of galaxy clusters being discovered by next-generation cosmological surveys resulting in clean, unbiased samples of the earliest galaxy clusters. Using synergies with large X-ray, optical, and radio datasets, he will seek to answer when galaxy clusters first dynamically relaxed, and how the effectiveness of supermassive black hole feedback has changed over time. He will also use new observatories for more targeted follow-up to investigate the role of feedback-induced turbulence in regulating galaxy growth.
