The 2020 Environment Program graduates worked hard to enhance their on-campus curriculum through their capstone experiences. To earn a degree from the Environment Program, each student must complete a project which further develops their skills as a scholar. Some students choose to conduct novel research while others choose internships. This year, since we transitioned to online learning in March, the capstone presentations looked a little different.
