Capstone Showcase | 2019 | Honors College

Our 2019 Student Presenters

Students shared their capstone work in a range of formats, including TED-style talks, lightning pitches, media-documented performances, model displays, academic panels, and research posters. These students, and all Honors College Scholars, have created a body of unique work that lays a foundation for each to build on for years to come.

Below are the names of the Honors College Class of 2019 seniors who presented their capstones. You can also view a gallery of some photos from the event.
