Fifteen Westminster College senior biology and molecular biology majors will present their capstone research projects Friday, Dec. 3, from 2-4 p.m. in the Witherspoon Maple Room of the McKelvey Campus Center.

At Westminster, the final component of liberal studies is a senior study, or capstone, course. The capstone is a four-semester-hour (minimum) course within the major designed to provide an opportunity for students to evaluate and assess the strengths and limitations of their major field.

The capstone experience permits opportunity for structured reflection on the value of education in and beyond the major and provides an opportunity to strengthen communication and problem-solving skills.
