The Metropolitan State University of Denver community is invited to support graduating honors students Friday by attending the virtual Honors Thesis Symposium. The symposium will be hosted on Teams from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. and will be available via livestream on YouTube. 

The 2020 fall symposium features 11 students who have displayed academic excellence while pursuing a customized honors curriculum. The MSU Denver community is invited to learn about the students’ research and celebrate the fruits of their hard work during the symposium. The event’s long-held tradition of rich dialogue and idea-sharing will be upheld through a virtual question-and-answer session. Attendees are encouraged to keep their mics muted outside of the Q&A but to engage with the presenting students by submitting questions through Teams or the YouTube livestream chat.
