INTERNAL NOTE/QUESTIONS:

1. The first paragraph is extremely confusing, can it be revised?
2. Who is the honors director and on the advisor council?
3. The thee attachments above - Application - Contract - Thesis - all need to be revised, updated and branded. Ideally, we would revise the content on page 1 of each PDF, put that information on a website, then delete it from the PDF so each attachment is only a single page that the student needs to fill out.
