(BRANCHBURG, NJ) -- Raritan Valley Community College Honors College students presented their independent “Capstone Course” projects during a December 13 symposium at the College’s Branchburg campus.
The Honors College students who shared their Capstone projects included Natalie Greene of Lebanon, a Civil Engineering major, who presented on “A Scale Model of a Gothic Period Inspired Bridge”; and Emily Norgard of Frenchtown, a Criminal Justice and Social Science double-major, who presented on “Sacrificing Privilege for Equity: A Critique on the Ethicality and Effectiveness of the United States’ Criminal Justice System.”
