Senior Thesis Boot Camp is designed to assist juniors and seniors who are writing theses or working on capstone projects in Notre Dame undergraduate programs. You will have the opportunity to jumpstart the research and writing process by working in dedicated spaces in the library and by consulting with librarians and writing tutors about your work. The program will help you establish a framework for writing and research that will enable you to work effectively toward thesis completion. Through informal conversations and short discussions, you will also develop a sense of community with other students. We offer the Senior Thesis Camp concurrently with the Graduate Student Dissertation Camp.

By attending all day for five days you will gain the foundation of a regular writing practice which will move your research to completion more quickly. If you have schedule variation needs (work, training commitments, etc.), please email the camp administrators as soon as you know.

Each day the library will provide coffee, tea, and lunch, with morning and afternoon snacks. Enrollment is free, registration is required. When you register for the days you are able to attend, you will receive a lunch request form that must be completed and returned before Monday, October 4 to ensure our caterers can prepare your lunch.

We will meet each day in Hesburgh Library Rooms 231ABC to start the camp and conclude it. See the related LibGuide for details.
