Senior Culminating Experience

Before embarking on the Senior Culminating Experience, it is important to look back at The Center Vision and Mission statements because this is where we began and this is why you are here.

The Center’s vision is to engage students through original, authentic experiences that will further develop and enrich their skillset and inspire a higher level of passion and knowledge in order to be uniquely successful in their post-secondary endeavors.

The Center’s mission is to offer unparalleled, meaningful opportunities within a rigorous and
engaging course of study that inspires students to learn and grow as individuals and as part
of the broader community.

As you begin your inquiry, keep in mind your idea should center on one of the following:

Proposing a Solution
Giving Back to a Community
Furthering your Research

Step 1. Setting The Bar

Practically speaking, this can be what separates you from other talented college applicants - the bar is high.

As you plan your SCE, keep in mind this advice: The experience needs to demonstrate sustained involvement and deep engagement which reveal your creativity, independence, and discipline.

Step 3. Design

There's no time like the present. You've been preparing for this year and preparing for this opportunity, preparing to create change, to give back, to ask something of yourself because no one else will. Now, show us what you've accomplished.

Here is your opportunity to create. So go make it happen!

Step 2. Discover

Remember when sugar was less harmful than fat, when margarine was better than butter, or when texting while driving was legal? Research proves valuable and will provide a solid foundation for the Senior Culminating Experience. The vision and overall outcome needs to be linked to research showing the effectiveness of your work, but may also take form in what you need to discover in order to begin your journey.

Step 4. Stand and Deliver

In order to successfully implement any project, you need checkpoints along the way. Don't think of this as a chore, but as an opportunity to share and receive feedback to help focus and hone your thinking.
