One hundred and thirty seniors in the Renée Crown University Honors Program will present their Capstone projects on Wednesday, May 4, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Hall of Languages.

Alyssa Prawl presents at the Society of Behavioral Medicine Conference, as reflected in her blog: "Presenting at the Society of Behavioral Medicine Conference was so amazing! I had never presented a poster by myself before, so that was new and exciting. It was also very rewarding. I had several people come by my poster and ask me questions and one person even knew my faculty advisor from working with her in South Korea! But the overall experience certainly helped me refine my presentation skills, establish some connections and learn about new research currently being conducted and published. Washington DC itself was also really great. After simply driving into the city, I was in awe, it was so clean and everyone just looked so happy (might’ve helped that the sun was out, something we haven’t seen here in awhile!). While in DC I was lucky enough to be able to visit the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Both experiences were phenomenal, I got to see the giant pandas and elephants as well as some mummies and the hope diamond! And after spending a couple of days in DC I think I would very much like to live there one day. Since the conference, I’ve started looking for jobs in the area, and I’ve got some ideas where to look thanks to the people I met there. "

The presentation panels will run concurrently in 11 rooms throughout the building, except during lunch (noon-1 p.m.), and are free and open to the University community.

Capstone projects are the culmination of three to four semesters of independent research, professional and creative work by students from across the schools and colleges of the University. Working with a faculty advisor, the students design, research and complete a significant project in their major field of study.

Among the topics that students are presenting on this year are corporate social responsibility and business activity; political communications; cationic peptides; cross-cultural adoption and identity; the history of sound design in advertising; offshoring of audit work; cell migratory patterns; education reform in Chile and the United States; conflict resources in sub-Saharan Africa; the effects of DRD4 and impulsivity on alcohol consumption; and resistance exercise and vascular and cognitive function.

Formats for the 15-20 minute presentations will include slide shows, websites, illustrations, films, readings and performance. Many of the students will also present or publish the results of their undergraduate research work at national and international conferences or in publications.

The schedule of presentations and rooms may be found here.
