Capstone brings together teams of graduate students to address complex challenges and identify new opportunities for nonprofit, governmental, health-related, urban planning, and international agencies. Project teams approach their assignments with initiative and professionalism. They organize and frame their projects into a thorough work plan that results in a carefully considered final product. Every team produces a written report and conducts a final presentation of their findings and recommendations.

We are excited to partner with organizations and project mentors that have interesting and unique challenges. We expect mentors to meet with students a few times each month to check in, answer questions, and align on the next steps. We are excited for you to share your culture with our students!
