Gregory Haskin's capstone focused on cultural competence and attitudes of speech-language pathologists working with the LGBTQ community, especially transgender people. Haskin's research was published in the American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology.
During the required capstone project, each student in the LGBT Health Policy and Practice Program creates a project designed to improve health outcomes for LGBT people. The capstone is based on a transformative service-learning experience and results in a product, innovation or outcome that can be applied in existing community settings.
Most students repurpose their capstones for résumé material or use them as real-world case studies to further their current careers. Many alumni have produced especially successful capstones that led to publication or policy changes at universities, on Capitol Hill or in local government.
