OS HONORS
The Organizational Studies Honors option is designed to enable advanced undergraduate
students to gain experience in the design, conduct, and analysis of research on
organizations and organizational behavior. The commitment, dedication, and resiliency
of this years’ OS Honors students was shown through their hard work on their research
and theses.

“I feel so fortunate to have had this OS honors
experience, both as an academic and personally.
Completing a research project in a field I am
passionate about while being challenged to step
outside of my comfort zone has allowed me to
grow so much throughout the past year. “

“The honors community has been such a large part
of my Michigan experience, and completing an
honors thesis has been one of my long-term goals.
Through the thesis writing process, I experienced
the strong research history at Michigan and grew
in my academic abilities. Completing my thesis has
left me with the knowledge that I can tackle any
challenge and achieve any goal in my future!”
