PORT ANGELES — The third annual symposium for the presentation of Peninsula College Honors Program Capstone Projects will take place from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday.
The presentations, which will be free and open to the public, will be in Room M-125 at Keegan Hall. A reception will follow.
Students will present their original capstone research with a reception following the presentations. Students are dedicating this year’s symposium to the memory of Hodge Wasson, a Peninsula College Honors graduate who died this year.
The Peninsula College Honors Program is for highly motivated students who seek to be engaged in an intensive learning process, college officials said.
A key component of the honors program is a culminating capstone project. Honors students work independently on their capstone projects throughout the second year of the program, guided by faculty mentors.
Capstone projects may involve original research, service learning, artistic expressions, international experiences, or some combination. The symposium is an opportunity for students to share their scholarship with the broader community.
Honors students and their projects are:
• Christian Brown, “Moments and Centers of Mass: A Missing Chapter.”
• S.J. Goh, “The Power of Lock-In: Empowering Customers to Make Informed Choices about Technology.”
• Monica Kim, “Joyce Creek Hydroelectric Feasibility Study.”
• Lisa Sedgwick, “The Functional Role of Red Alder in Nitrogen Dispersion.”
• Gabriel Stark, “An Overview of PMS and an Inquiry of Society’s Role in its Development.”
• Pua Sweeney, “Treating Atopic Dermatitis/Atopic Eczema.”
• Seren Weber, “Accidental Hybridization of Lupine in Large-scale Restoration and the Potential for Directed Evolution.”
