Thesis Countdown

If you saw seniors on the Street last night who had previously been MIA, it may have been that they no longer had theses to occupy themselves. As of Friday at 4:30, the seniors in the Politics department turned in their theses and then danced in the Woody Woo fountain, starting the month long process during which most Princeton seniors are required to submit their independent work, described by the University as "quintessentially Princeton."

So if you're wondering how your department stacks up in terms of due dates or when a friend may emerge from their carrel in Firestone, read on for the 2008-2009 Thesis Calendar.
