Brian James Schill
As the Honors Program's Undergraduate Research Coordinator I primarily assist seniors with their Senior Honors Theses, helping them transition out of undergraduate study and typically into graduate or professional school. I also teach several courses each semester and am involved in undergraduate research initiatives across campus. My academic and research interests include Literary Theory and Criticism, Media Studies, and issues in Healthcare history, policy, and administration.
