| Details: | Ringing the Gong is a long standing tradition in the Honors Program when a student completes their capstone project. This will be an open house celebration in the Powers Hall Lobby where we’ll have the gong to ring (celebrating your completed capstone), and snacks/beverages. There is not a formal program or agenda, just taking time to celebrate your accomplishments and have a bit of fun alongside the Capstone Gallery. You are welcome to invite your capstone advisor, friends, or family. |
