Capstone Fair

Where Senior Projects Come to Life

Friday, April 24, from 3-6 p.m. in the David Student Union Ballroom

The Capstone Fair is the culminating academic showcase of the School of Engineering and Computing at Christopher Newport University. Senior students present original research, engineering solutions, and computing projects developed throughout their capstone experience.

Attendees — including faculty, industry professionals, alumni, and the broader CNU community — are invited to engage directly with student teams, explore poster presentations, and witness the caliber of work emerging from CNU's engineering and computing programs.

Tickets are not required, but an RSVP is requested.
