Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of South Florida/WST 4935 Senior Capstone Project (Fall 2018)

WST 4935 “Senior Capstone Project” is the senior experience for Women’s and Gender Studies students ready to take their education off campus and out into the world. The course is designed to help students establish some personal post-graduation goals and successfully leverage their WGS knowledge and skills toward achieving said goals. The semester pivots around a final project, which includes a literature review and portfolio piece. The project helps students apply their education to a future goal, whether it is applying to graduate school, doing social justice advocacy and activism, and/or starting a career path.
