Capstone Projects

 

The GLI Capstone is how our students put their ideas into action. The leadership and teamwork that GLI students have cultivated throughout the program are brought to fruition in the final year as they develop and implement their capstone project. GLI students work with an interdisciplinary group of peers and a faculty mentor on identifying a global challenge and designing an innovative solution. The GLI capstone project encourages students to create a project with a tangible outcome while incorporating interdisciplinary teamwork, empathetic leadership, and global awareness.
