 Record Number of Capstone Projects
We’re delighted to report a record number of seniors completing the Honors Program. We anticipate that approximately 100 seniors will receive medallions at the Honors Convocation on May 8, celebrating their completion of the Program. This year’s junior cohort is poised to complete at a similarly high rate next year. The Capstone Projects completed this semester represent an amazing array of disciplines, reflective of the rich intellectual and creative diversity of the University. |
