Honors Thesis

As apart of the Honor College, I am required to write a thesis on a topic of my choosing. This will have to be researched and written by the spring of my senior year where it will be reviewed by a panel. Currently I am researching the effects of interior environments on student mental wellbeing. The factors that I am specifically researching are lighting, wall color, and furniture. This has led me to collaborate with representatives from Steelcase in order to maximize on the amount that I can include in such a limit amount of time and testing classrooms on campus to see the amount of lighting as well as the temperature of the environments. Throughout my reasearch journey, I have also presented at the International 2022 SMA Conference in North Carolina and will present at the 2023 AMTP Conference in South Carolina.
