Exploration Of The United States’ Cultural Legacy In Panama Through Analysis Of American Foreign Policy And Public Opinion, Katherine A. Boss
Honors Theses
The study of a culture is nearly too difficult to accomplish academically, therefore the consilience of data, personal experience, and public opinion offers the most comprehensive approach. The Panama Canal has just celebrated its centennial and remains to this day one of the most important geopolitical and global economic hubs in the world.

Libérte, Egalité, And Fraternité: France, Rwanda, And The Road To Genocide, Rachel Refkin
Honors Theses
The following senior thesis examines France’s political, economic, and military relationship with Rwanda from 1962-present.
