A culminating event is put on by students at an off campus venue to raise money for local charities and for the Event Management Scholarship Fund. Students work in groups to develop unique and professional events. Each group is required to prepare and present 2 event proposals for faculty selection. One event per group is selected and students spend approximately 12 weeks bringing the event to fruition. The CAPSTONE event is the culminating event in the program, allowing students to apply the learning outcomes from each course.
"Exercises like the mock interviews, creating our brand, making us go outside of our comfort level to networking events, and conducting an interview with an industry professional have all helped in preparing us for the working world. I felt a great change in myself both personally and professionally. Confidence was key to completing our capstone projects, to create a damn good resume and kill it in interviews before landing an amazing internship!!"
– Kelly, Event Management Graduate
