The fifth annual symposium for the presentation of Peninsula College Honors Program Capstone Projects will take place Thursday, June 11, from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm. Students will present their original capstone research. The presentations will be given via Zoom by invite only.
The Peninsula College Honors Program is a unique educational program for highly motivated students who seek to be engaged in an intensive learning process. A key component of the Honors Program is a culminating capstone project. Honors students work independently on their capstone projects throughout the second year of the program, guided by faculty mentors. Capstone projects may involve original research, service learning, artistic expressions, international experiences, or some combination. The symposium is an opportunity for students to share their scholarship with the broader community. It is also an excellent opportunity for students interested in pursuing Honors at Peninsula College to learn about the kinds of capstone projects being completed, and to talk with students finishing their Honors Degree.
The Honors students are Logan Matlock, whose project is titled “Breaking out of the Binary;” Byeol Park, whose project is titled, “Same Root of Two Different Trees: Political Science and Family;” Saki Kambe, whose project is a lesson plan where classes from different nations are in dialogue through the online environment; Radha Sophie Newsom, whose project is titled, “Eating the Planet to Save the Planet (and Ourselves);” and Spencer Sinding, whose project is titled, “Air Bee and Bee.”
