Five department honors students presented their capstone projects at the Honors Poster Presentation held April 26 in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. The economics seniors who participated were Dawson Barriuso, Jonathan Becker, Rachel Brandt, Brian Garrido, and Alyssa Henderson.
Poster presentations are held each semester. Most students present during their senior year, but they may present earlier if their Honors Project has been completed.
