On Friday, November 22, we had the first group of seniors present their capstone projects to the 十大彩票平台 community. We heard presentations on a range of topics that were interesting and thought provoking. Every 十大彩票平台 senior completes this self-directed independent project of her own design, guided by Capstone mentors as the apex of her subject's inquiry. 

Just as a real capstone is held aloft by the building blocks beneath it, the 十大彩票平台 Capstone is built on four years of learning and growth, and stands proudly at the highest point of the structure that a student has built stone by stone. Capstone Projects are highly individualized and may include original research, community service, performance, studio production, and entrepreneurship, in addition to advanced academic scholarship. The possibilities for research are endless; they are limited only by a student’s imagination!

The topics of the Capstone presentations were:

• Mind over Matter: Examining the Psychological Aspects of Sports Performance
• Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You: Stalking and Limerence in Real Life and the Media
• Expressing What’s Unspoken: Art Therapy’s Effect on Emotional Wellness
• Why No One Is Stupid: The Problem with Measuring Intelligence
• GMOs: What Is In My Food? The Skepticism of the General Public
• Suburbia Kills!-- The Endless Loop of Sprawl and Car Dependency
• Are We Too Connected? How Digital Communication and Social Media Damage Our Relationships
• Christian Music: Its Benefits on Spiritual Health
• Imperfect Perfection: How to Be a Good Person According to Western Moral Philosophy
• Who’s Providing Your Care? Understanding the Role of Advanced Practice Providers in Today’s Healthcare
