Capstone Projects
All CGH concentrators complete a substantial project focusing on the health of human populations. The project may reflect a significant civic engagement experience, a major research project, or a hybrid of the two. Students present their projects to the college community during a poster session held each Spring. Below you will find examples of the projects students have completed recently. Guidelines for the capstone projects are available here.
