Session Abstract
Capstone programs require high investment, but have deep potential to return rich gains in regard to bridging academia, industry, and community. Participants will identify best practices in implementing capstone programs through a panel presentation of exceptional programs and an afternoon session on writing up guidelines for successful planning to achieve learning outcomes and nurture relations with external partners. Participants will learn how to leverage capstone to advance multiple school objectives: authentic learning experiences, outreach to industry partners and your alumni network, student recruitment, and contributing to long term social impact.
