This annual event is a highlight for the college, where graduating Information & Computer Systems students present what they have learned through projects that demonstrate creativity, technical expertise, and real-world problem-solving abilities.

“Working on the Capstone project was an intense experience, but seeing it come to life and being able to present it to industry professionals is incredibly rewarding,” says Manu V.
