Hello listener, thanks for tuning in. It's been a while, but we're back with a very special episode of Capstones! Usually this show is just one student speaking about their senior thesis. This episode takes you inside of the class so you can see what the weekly process of creating these papers looks like. The next few will also be weird ones, with a series of episodes about Mercy College's award winning (!) Model United Nations team. If you like this show, give leave us a rating, subscribe, and share with a friend. Thanks to Slackjaw for their song Room's Not Clean as the intro/outro of the show.
