(BRANCHBURG, NJ) -- Eight students from Raritan Valley Community College's Honors College presented their independent Capstone Research Course projects during a symposium on December 10, 2024 at the College's Branchburg campus.
The Capstone presentations featured a wide range of subject matter, including:
* “The Impact of Social Media and Mobile Technology on Dating and Relationship Dynamics in Generation Z” (Holly Rodriguez)
* “I Miss My Grandpa, Coping with Death” (Denisse Sanchez Tlanipa)
* “An Analysis of the RVCC Tutoring Center” (Nathaniel Meicke)

* “Multiracial America: How do the Experiences of Biracial People Fit into the Conversation of Racism, Acculturation and Assimilation In America?” (Siena Martin)
The Capstone Research Course is designed to guide sophomore Honors College students from all disciplines through the stages of researching and writing a major research paper or project, or developing an artistic pursuit. The students are mentored by faculty members and present their work at the end of the semester.
Launched in 2011, RVCC’s Honors College serves highly qualified high school graduates who are entering college for the first time. Honors College students benefit from being in small classes with similarly academically motivated students. Students in the program are taught by a select group of faculty. The Honors College features a cohort-based program with smaller, seminar-style courses that have an interdisciplinary focus and afford students the opportunity to develop a close working relationship with their professors.
To learn more about the Honors College, attend an Honors College Information Session, December 18, 2024 at 6:00pm. The program will be held in the Event Center (Room 101) at the College’s Branchburg campus. To register for the Honors College Information Session, visit www.raritanval.edu/visit.
