Honors College Capstone

The Honors College Capstone Showcase is the annual, signature venue for students graduating as Honors College Scholars to present their Capstone work, the culminating academic experience for all Honors College Scholars.

This year, the showcase will happen in a virtual format. The event will begin with a common welcome, and a collective (virtual) toast to HC Seniors research and success. HC Seniors will be presenting their capstones from across all disciplines via the Senior Exhibit platform, as well as through personal Q&A rooms over Webex following the toast.

Join us to celebrate Curiosity, Knowledge, and Purpose!
