Wheaton College Massachusetts

Honors Thesis Parade
2026-05-11 11:30 (America/New_York) | Mars Center for Science and Technology, Norton, 02766, United States
Please join us at 11:30 a.m. on Monday, May 11, at the entrance to Mars Science Center, for Wheaton’s Honors Thesis Parade! The parade will assemble at 11:15 a.m. and begin promptly at 11:30 a.m. The parade will be held rain or shine, so remember to bring an umbrella if necessary.
We celebrate the enormous achievement of an Honors Thesis with a parade from Mars Science Center, around the quad, and to the Doll’s House, where students will check that their theses have been uploaded correctly, Provost Millen will read the titles of the theses, and President Whelan will sound the thesis gong for each student!
Please join us for this annual rite of spring. Wear your Alternate Regalia (or your academic regalia), or an appropriate costume (or really whatever you wish), bring instruments, noise-makers, signs, flags, and banners, and help celebrate Wheaton students’ triumphs after their year of very hard work! Friends and supporters of thesis students are encouraged to join the parade.

The design capstone is a chance for senior design majors to apply their knowledge and skills to a topic of their choice. Posters show and explain what students investigated and why, the steps they took to add depth to their understanding and how they responded with design concepts through sketches, diagrams, prototypes and mockups.
Projects will be on display May 5–May 16, 2026
