Forward Thinking:

 Capstone Final Project

For the Capstone Final Project, you will prepare a comprehensive project plan for a socially relevant project of your choice. Your project may be a corporate social responsibility (CSR) project aligned with the organization you work for or one with which you are familiar, or it may be an individual project you wish to pursue. If you choose to pursue an individual project, it must still incorporate the principles of sustainability and social responsibility.

The plan will be developed incrementally each week of the course. You will be provided with resources that will guide you through each assignment. As each week’s assignments are graded, your Instructor will return your work with suggestions to incorporate into your Capstone Final Project submission. 

The various elements of your project plan are due in Weeks 1–7 (see below). In Week 8, you will submit your fully completed plan.
