The Tenth Annual | Warren Wilson College

ACADEMIC CAPSTONE CARNIVAL

program and schedule

MAY 8-9

Tenth Anniversary Capstone CarnivalWelcome

More than a decade ago, Dr. Ben Feinberg had a vision for a College-wide celebration of significant, culminating under-graduate capstone and other projects, and Capstone Carnival was born. Over the last decade, hundreds of students have looked forward to presenting their original substantive work at a gathering that provides the engagement with research, ideas, and creativity of an academic conference, and simulta-neously allows the entire Warren Wilson campus community to honor and applaud the exceptional work of our students.

Welcome to the tenth annual Capstone Carni-val. If you are presenting, we welcome the research, insights, and beauty of learning and performance that you will share; if you are here as a faculty member whose students will present, thank you for your dedication to bringing students’ best work to fruition; and if you are here as a participant, welcome. We hope that Capstone Carnival is the celebration that Ben envisioned for us all.

As the interim organizer of this year’s Capstone Carnival, I thank Ben Feinberg for his vision and leadership over the last decade, and President Lynn Morton for agree-ing to open this tenth anniversary Capstone Carnival. I also especially thank Bobby (Robbert) Trice for his skill, tenacity, and insight. He carried the bulk of the work for organizing this year’s Capstone Carnival. Thank you, Bobby.

Welcome!
