The Adopt a Thesis program allows the College to archive the senior theses at 35 Park Place without requiring the students to purchase extra paper and a binder.
A donation of $30 allows us to archive one bound copy of a student’s thesis. This will also provide one copy for those who adopt the thesis.
Last year’s Adopt a Thesis was a great success— all of our seniors’ theses were adopted by alumni and friends. Because of that success, the College would also like to give our alumni and friends the opportunity to read their adopted work.
Any questions about the program can be directed to Dean Webster at webstej1@ohio.edu.
Want to adopt a thesis? Here’s how:
Step 1:
Send a check for $30 made out to the Ohio University Foundation with the memo line reading “HTC Adopt a Thesis” to 35 Park Place, Ohio University, Athens, OH 45701. We will use this donation to buy cotton paper and binders, which will be distributed to our seniors.
Step 2:
Choose a thesis title from the adoption list and email your selection to Dean Webster at webstej1@ohio.edu.
Step 3:
When the thesis of your choice is completed, we will send you a direct link to an electronic version of your adopted thesis.
