English 491 Capstone Student Presentations Fall 2020
Each year, our English 491 capstone Senior Seminar students present their scholarly papers in a conference format to peers and faculty.
This year, our graduating English majors present on their research at the English 491 Capstone Conference, “Covid Quorum: Six Anxious Seniors.” Organized by Professor Cathryn Halverson, the event was held November 4, 2020 at the Student Center. After their talks students fielded questions from audience members, both in the room and on zoom. Congratulations to everyone on a job well done!
