This semester, ten English majors undertook the capstone project across both the disciplines of Literature and Creative Writing. There was a wide range of forms and topics explored in the various projects. This included poetry, fantasy, photography, and much more! On April 25th and 26th, the ten students each shared a presentation in which they described the work they completed throughout the semester. The presentations were attended by many loving friends and family as well as the English professors who did so much to help support the students through their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
