Capstone story

Capstone Festival gets under way May 8 - Most presentations May 14-15

California State University, Monterey Bay will hold its 13th annual Capstone Festival starting on May 8 with the Policy Forum, presented by graduating students in the Master of Public Policy program. The forum will take place from 2 to 5 p.m. in the Alumni and Visitors Center.

Each spring, the CSUMB Capstone Festival celebrates the culminating projects of graduating seniors, credential candidates, and master's students as they present their work in sessions held by each academic department.

These projects reflect the knowledge, skills, and abilities developed over the course of a student's experience at CSUMB. They include research presentations, original poetry, oral histories, art projects, performances, tabletop exhibits, films and videos, multimedia works, computer visualizations, and more.

The projects are designed to showcase topics and ideas that students are passionate about, as well as to reflect the breadth of knowledge that they have gained over their time at the university

The festival kicks into high gear on May 14, when students from seven academic departments showcase their work. The festival continues with presentations the next day, and concludes with the Teledramatic Arts and Technology showcase from 6 to 9 p.m. in the World Theater.

All events are open to the public. For more information or to request sign language interpreters or disability accommodations, please contact jainesh_singh@csumb.edu or call 582-5067.
