Roger Eichorn
Roger Eichorn seems to have been a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow in 2005, for which he may have begun work on a senior honors thesis in philosophy, reportedly entitled The Limits of Philosophy, or the Philosophy of Limits: The Pyrrhonian Impulse from Heraclitus to Postmodernism. Roger appears to be a Philosophy/History double major, and he very well might graduate in May 2006. He is a skeptic.
David Hiley
David Hiley came to the University of New Hampshire six years ago to be Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. Since then, Professor Hiley has moved from administrative work to teaching in the Philosophy Department, for which he is also the acting Chairman. Professor Hiley’s specialty is Political Philosophy. In working with student researcher Roger Eichorn, Professor Hiley was most surprised by the “expansive and sophisticated understanding of philosophy” that Roger possessed. This was much more than Professor Hiley “had expected of an undergraduate.” Professor Hiley hopes that other professors acting as mentors to student researchers can “benefit from the eagerness of a talented, highly motivated student,” as he has. Professor Hiley notes the rewards of working with undergraduate researchers: “I have probably gained as much as Roger has [from this process].”
