Dear Honors Candidates in ARST and FILM,

Because you will either be participating in your senior thesis art exhibition as a Studio Arts major or producing a 16mm, virtual, or digital film as a Film Studies major, we realize that you will not be registering a written body of work on the day that theses are due.  However, if you will be applying to the Thorndike Fund, you must submit the application form and any related paperwork by the 4 pm thesis deadline, which is Tuesday, April 13, 2010.  

The Thorndike Fund partially reimburses students for the binding and printing costs of their department and Olin Library thesis/essay copies. The available balance in the Thorndike Fund for the 2009/10 year will be divided evenly by the number of honors candidates and applied as a credit in the Thesis Registration System for every student registering a thesis/essay, in order to offset costs. Students will be informed of the 2009/10 credit amount prior to Thesis Registration. Students producing an art or film project are also eligible for this credit and may apply for it by obtaining a Thorndike application form from the Registrar's Office. Please contact me if you would like a copy of the application form.

If you have any questions about the Honors Program or the Thorndike Fund, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I wish you all the best with your solo exhibition or senior film.

Sincerely,

Beth Labriola
