See Where our 2021 Nisbet Honors Seniors Are Headed After Graduation

Our 2021 Nisbet Honors seniors have achieved so much at Converse – but they’re just getting started. As participants of the Nisbet Honors Program, our students are guided by a faculty mentor who supports them through planning, proposing, and funding research projects in their area of interest. This individual mentoring opens the doors to acclaimed grad schools, fellowships and extraordinary funding packages.
