Our theme and thesis have been solidified. After many in-depth discussions, writing sessions and shared emotions, it has become clear.

Theme . . . RECONNECTION.

We dove down deep, explored the many faces of reconnection and determined a thesis that is sure to carry a powerful message to the audience.

Thesis . . . Reconnection causes mixed emotions.

It is evident that the students truly want and care about being reconnected to someone in their lives. But the more they converse, the more they realize that when they get what they think they want and are indeed reconnected, something is missing, something has changed, something is not quite right.
