Name: Bella Thomas

You will be conferencing with 2 faculty members (See Approval Teams List) to discuss the choices you have
made for your Senior Project. This entire form must be completed before your conferences. PLEASE TYPE &

Project Choice:
I have decided upon my project and it will be:
To create a video of valuable experiences that document the history and culture of Italy that I have
learned while on foreign exchange.
I have chosen this project because:
It is unique and I will learn much from it.
I know I will need a mentor for my project, and I am considering contacting: Mr. Davidson
for assistance because: I have had him for six years, and he has been involved in my foreign exchange
application process.
Questions I have regarding my project:
I am unsure how I will stay in contact with my mentor, and how they will oversee my project, since I will
be in another county.
I think: learning Italian will be the most difficult part of this process for me because: I have never studied it
before.
I think the easiest part of this process for me will be: learning about a different culture
because: I am extremely excited to do so.

Research Project: Knowing my research project has to touch some aspect of my project and it must be a
persuasive/argumentative paper, I believe I would like to research one of the following:

Thesis #1: The American immigration procedure is in desperate need of reform in order to expedite the
application process, admit asylum seekers, and accelerate family reunification.

Thesis #2: The American immigration process needs to be reformed because immigrants are qualified
individuals who pay hold jobs, pay taxes, and play a vital role in our economy.

Thesis #3: America can not turn its back on refugees from destabilized third-world countries because we were
once refugees, they have no place to go, and we are responsible since for destabilizing their countries.
