Honors Theses
In January 2019, an e-mail notification was sent to alumni of the SMBHC to announce the migration of theses from the existing Honors Thesis Repository to the new eGrove repository, with the opportunity to opt out if they did not wish to participate. If you would like to remove your work from eGrove, or embargo your content, please send an email to: egrove@olemiss.edu
If your thesis did not appear in the original Honors Thesis Repository, but you would like for it to be digitized for inclusion in eGrove, please send us an email (egrove@olemiss.edu), and it will be added to our digitization queue.
