GW SUP Spring 2024 Capstone Showcase

The Capstone is the culminating experience for students in the master’s program in Sustainable Urban Planning.

This individual project showcases the knowledge skills and abilities students have learned. Students’ projects are used to demonstrate mastery of the program’s materials and goals. Students often share their capstone and studio projects with prospective employers to show that they can do professional-level planning work. Our studio clients also have written letters of recommendation for students and provide internships and employment opportunities.

This is a hybrid event open to students, alumni, faculty, prospective students, and the general public.

Following the presentations, we will host a reception with light refreshments. We look forward to celebrating our graduates' hard work and learning more about their research.
