History Capstone Overview

The Dalton History Department encourages students who possess a demonstrable passion for critical inquiry and self-directed research  to apply for the Capstone experience in historical research and investigation.  Open to seniors in the fall semester of their culminating year, the Capstone Project represents an opportunity for students to utilize their existing skills in an effort to expand upon their research techniques and dispositions in pursuit of original historical research and project completion.  

Moreover, the Capstone projects is a collaboration between the History department, the Library, and the New Lab for Technology and Learning. This partnership offers the kind of learning community envisioned by Founder Helen Parkhurst and speaks to the ongoing efforts to create a vital learning environment for Dalton students. 

Charlotte Klein, Sydney Feldman, Alyssa Shah, Shravya Pant, Jodi Robinson, and Maxwell Menin would like to share their finished projects with you, the Dalton community, in a public exhibition of the culmination of their research efforts.

We hope you will join us in celebrating this student work for its excellence, breadth and depth of analysis, diversity of interest, and rigor of fulfillment.
