What thesis students had to say:

• “I LOVED it! I wish I could have stayed for longer... I truly thought it was so creative, and there were so many cool people to talk to about their respective theses too!”
• “I enjoyed learning about all the resources available to me through the library! The snacks were also INCREDIBLE and it was really fun to collect stamps [at each station].”
• “Everyone was very friendly and provided really useful information!!”
