Voices Like Yours

"Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought." - Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

On this webpage you can find the best honors students’ research papers and information about the authors. In these papers, students investigated periods of time using historical text along with contemporary sources. The projects offer historical perspectives that give us a chance to understand the world around us with its issues in the past and in the future.
These projects are really exciting to read for people who are interested in Social Science. They are helpful for students who want to participate in the honors program and for students who are doing research for Social Science classes! Maybe a semester later your paper will be on this page in the honors’ level! - Svetlana Ziakaeva - CCSF Student Fall 2007
