Capstone Projects Launch  
Every year students work in teams for a client to complete a capstone project as their final program assignment. These projects involve substantial analysis and clients include nonprofits, government agencies, and private think tanks. This year, one of the projects will win a recently established Capstone Prize. Instructor advisors this semester are Joseph Arleth, Joseph Cordes, Jasmine McGinnis Johnson and Mary Tschirhart. 
Illustrating the value of the projects, one group, advised by Dr. Arleth, is working with CSIS, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, to analyze the impact and effectiveness of U.S. investments in women and girls’ education programs and initiatives in Afghanistan since 2001. Other planned project clients include but are not limited to NASA, NAPA, Horton's Kids, Fight CRC, Justice Policy Institute, Georgetown Mainstreet and the Learning Policy Institute.
