Welcome to Rochester University’s semiannual Capstone Conference (formerly Academic Symposium), where we join together to celebrate our vibrant academic community and present the academic achievements and capstone projects of dozens of Rochester University students.
As is always the case, this semester’s program boasts a diversity of subject matter and a display of critical thinking as reflected in our students’ printed and electronic posters, scholarly papers, executive simulations, public relations campaigns for real-world clients, and many others.
