DSP Presentation Archive

The Distinguished Scholars Program (DSP) offers gifted students the opportunity to study in an interdisciplinary environment consisting of a rigorous research and experience-based curriculum. 
Distinguished Scholars develop skills including innovative research and reading, critical thinking, Socratic discussions, and intensive writing. Students are guided by Instructors and Advisors through this individualized process which focuses on a topic of their choosing. Over the course of four years, Scholars in DSP will ultimately produce a collegiate-level research product composed of both an essay and presentation which resembles a Master’s level thesis and defense. 

Below you will find an archive of final project materials organized by scholar class, and we encourage you to explore the next generation of leaders.
