Capstone Showcase 

Spring 2023

Welcome to the Spring 2023 Capstone Showcase! Our Capstone students have devoted an entire semester to independently researching topics they are passionate about.

Below you will find a link to each student's presentation along with a brief video introduction to their projects.

I am so very proud of these students. Enjoy the presentations.
