Our second-year CCJS honors students are gearing up to defend their theses in the coming weeks. As part of the University’s requirements, at least two faculty members must be present for each defense.

We hope you will join in person, when possible, but to facilitate participation, we are offering defenses in a hybrid fashion (in person and via Zoom).

Faculty members and graduate students: For defenses you know you can attend, please respond to Guyu Sun (guyusun@umd.edu) with the date and time. This will help us ensure the two-faculty minimum and get a rough headcount.

A note about timing: Defenses begin at 2 pm and follow a 30-minute rotation. The rotation allows attendees to pop in and out when needed. Each defense will run 30 minutes, with a 17-minute student presentation followed by a 13-minute Q&A.

Our students have worked very hard over the last two years and are excited to share their work with you. Having our stellar faculty and graduate students take an interest in their projects, reflecting on their ideas, and asking questions is a highlight of their program participation.
