Friends & Neighbors: East Lyme college student wins award
East Lyme’s Georgia Thoms has won the Undergraduate Library Research Award at William & Mary University.
The William & Mary Libraries Undergraduate Library Research Awards recognize the creative and original library research completed by William & Mary undergraduate students. Awards are given to students whose papers best illustrate exemplary use of W&M Libraries tools and resources, and the development of information-gathering skills.
Georgia Thoms ‘23 has received the first place award in the Junior/Senior category for their paper, “Comparison of Female Role in Ritual Cults to Ancient Greek Society.”
The paper interrogates the accuracy of women’s seclusion in ancient Greek society through the examination of three religious sites. In selecting Thoms’s paper, the award committee was struck by the cohesive argument and the extensive and well-utilized bibliography.
