Capstone programs, whether they be in the form of final projects, research or thesis, offer culminating experiences for iSchool students to demonstrate their learning in a real-world project where the students attempt to tackle a significant information problem, address a social issue, or explore a market opportunity. The session intends to bring together the iSchools community with interest and experience in Capstone programs to discuss their potential, practices and opportunities for expanded students' experiential learning, faculty engagement and industry partnerships.
