Overview

Senior year is an exciting time for all Colby-Sawyer College (CSC) students, including registered nurses (RN) and respiratory therapists (RRT) who are enrolled in a baccalaureate (BS) program. During the capstone experience, RNBS/RTBS students work side-by-side with faculty, mentors, and other interprofessional colleagues to address topics that are significant to their practice – and to health care in general. Join us as we learn from several CSC RNBS/RTBS students as they present their capstone projects.
