Capstone Project
Learners will develop a proposal for a project they plan to implement at their organization. They will begin writing their proposals after the second workshop. Feedback on their first draft will be provided by a faculty advisor as well as a peer before learners submit their final version for ranking by a faculty panel. The authors of the “Top 10” proposals will be invited to present their proposal via webinar, and all program participants will be invited to attend. The “Top 3” of these presentations will present to the class and visiting faculty at the final workshop in Boston.
