BOLIVAR, Mo. 鈥� Twelve students in 欧美视频鈥檚 Gordon & Judy Dutile Honors Program presented their Senior Honors Capstone Experience projects during an open house May 8.

鈥淚t is the mission of the Dutile Honors Program to serve high-ability students in a manner that promotes healthy development and personal growth,鈥� said Dr. Jodi Meadows, director of the Dutile Honors Program. 鈥淭he capstone experience does just that in providing students an opportunity to be both challenged and supported as autonomous and self-directed learners. The process of the capstone projects is as valuable as the products.鈥�

Students are admitted to the Dutile Honors Program before their freshman year through a competitive process. The program includes nine honors-specific courses designed to provide scholastic enrichment and opportunities for practical application and professional development; honors colloquium for sophomores and juniors; and the Senior Honors Capstone Experience that allows students to complete a project or research in the student鈥檚 field of study, including the integration of faith and discipline.
