Earlham College

HDSR Seniors began Problem Analysis Presentations this week. The general purpose of these presentations is to provide an opportunity for graduating students to integrate their understanding of theories with data and strategies as they pertain to a specific social problem.

The presentations began February 27 and will continue through March 15. The larger HDSR community is invited to attend these remaining problem analyses and are encouraged to participate in the discussion period following the presentation.

First, second and third-year HDSR students are especially encouraged to attend. The preview often helps students better understand the expectations of the Senior Comps process and helps in understanding the end result of studies within the HDSR program.
