Title V Initiatives: Capstone And Student Research With Faculty, Sarah Brennan Ms., Silvia Reyes

Sarah Brennan

This presentation summarizes two components of a Title V grant being implemented at Hostos Community College. The two components highlighted are: (1) the capstone initiative and (2) the student research with faculty initiative. Our implementation processes have been influenced in part by AAC&U's High Impact Practices work and philosophy. Our work with Hostos faculty has helped us define capstone learning at the community college level and supported student engagement in authentic research activities.

For this study, SBUs were defined by Kecskés (2000) as “highly conventionalized, prefabricated pragmatic units whose occurrences are tied to standardized communicative situations” (p. 606). SBUs consist of strings such as “I’ll see you later,” and “You can say that again,” which are used predictably by native speakers in certain contexts.
