While many institutions highlight signature work in capstone projects, focused curriculum review by a number of institutions has shown that for students to be successful incapstone opportunities, they need opportunities to develop and practice the skills and knowledge they have acquired. This work is part of AAC&U’s Signature Work initiative, fundedby the Davis Educational Foundation. In this webinar, administrative and faculty leaders from three institutions will share models and insights into the process their institutions took to

integrate signature work opportunities into the curriculum.
