Senior Capstone Community Partners
The majority of Capstone courses partner with a community organization. These partnerships are mutually beneficial ventures, as the organizations help students place their academic learning in a real world context, and students assist organizations in meaningful projects such as grant writing, developing public relations plans, creating business plans, designing curriculum and educational materials, designing multi-media products, and serving as advocates for underserved populations and issues, such as marginalized communities and women's issues." Many of our projects with our community partners last multiple years, while others are one-term events. Some of our community partners are:
