Deidre McVay to present Honors research project
2014 Apr 22
Deidre McVay of Coshocton, Ohio, who is enrolled in the Honors Program at Heidelberg University, is scheduled to present his/her senior Honors project this week.
McVay, who is majoring in political science, will present his/her research on the topic The Quest for World Order: How International Legal Rules Affect National Sovereignty and International Hegemony as the culmination of Honors Program requirements before graduation.
Each Honors student, during the senior year, works with a faculty mentor to complete a capstone project that derives from their major field. The research project is designed to individualize and deepen their understanding of a topic of compelling interest in his/her major. The final project is presented in writing and the student also is required to present their projects before the campus community.
This year, a total of 20 students will be presenting their senior Honors projects from April 22-24. Heidelberg's Honors Program, titled "The Life of the Mind," empowers the most outstanding students to explore their abilities within a supportive community of scholars and learners. The program is comprised of four intellectual areas: the Scholar, the Scientist, the Artist and the Citizen.
