New HIP at MCC: The Capstone Experience

The HIPs Committee is thrilled to announce that MCC has institutionalized a new High-Impact Practice, the Capstone Experience (CE). We're inviting all faculty who steward any academic program at MCC to learn more about how a Capstone Experience can bring coherence to your students' work while they're with you. Please join us for:

  • The Capstone Experience: What? Why? How?
  •  Monday, April 21
  •  12 PM
  •  in the TCC (12-201) or  Join via Zoom.

Here's a basic description:

A course designated as a Capstone Experience functions as a culmination for students in a particular program. In such a course, whether as a single component or as a guiding pedagogy, students will complete at least one individual and/or collaborative project that integrates and applies what they’ve already achieved in earlier coursework, encouraging them to cohere their experiences at MCC and to begin laying groundwork for future academic, professional, and/or personal engagement with a particular field. As such, any course designated as a Capstone Experience (CE) will offer students the opportunity to synthesize in some way the totality of their academic experiences in a specific discipline at MCC. The goal is for students to understand themselves more deeply in relation to that discipline and to the next stages of their academic and/or professional lives.

Please RSVP before Friday, April 11 to Maria Brandt (mbrandt@monroecc.edu). If you can't make this workshop but still would like to learn more about the Capstone Experience, please reach out to Maria directly.
