The Capstone

Capstone Projects

Leadership and teamwork throughout the last four years are brought to fruition during the Capstone phase of the Global Leadership Initiative. This final phase takes place during your senior year when you will have the opportunity to demonstrate mastery through interdisciplinary, culminating capstone projects. In small, faculty-supported groups, Fellows will address crucial issues affecting the world community, such as economic development and expansions, cultural and historical clashes, population and environmental changes and their effects on production, and the development of democratic societies. Fellows will collaborate with a self-selected group of peers to determine a global question and propose solutions.

Do you ever wonder where good ideas come from?

Social Events

Students in the Capstone phase of the GLI program will have spent significant time together and will be far more inclined to plan their own social events. That being said, we still think it's important to bring together both large and small groups of this cohort to share with one another the experiences gained in the previous three years. A kick-off event and fellowship completion ceremony will be held for all participants along with smaller events that will bring Fellows together to generate inspiration as you work through your capstone projects and go off into the world to become leaders in our global society.
