As an undergraduate adviser, Thoron is not content with merely advising students on curriculum and instead encourages them to actively engage in their learning and become life-long learners so they will have the tools to excel in their professional careers. Thoron typically advises 20 to 25 undergraduates each year, and his personal interest in their studies does not end upon graduation. Many students have remarked how he not only helps them find a teaching position that matches their interests and qualifications but also regularly checks in with them after they are employed to see how they are progressing and to offer his continuing mentorship.
