As the second half of Immersion Vanderbilt, the culminating project is simply what students create informed by their immersive experience(s). Immersion Vanderbilt culminating projects are as unique as the students who create them!
Like immersive experiences, culminating projects can be completed as part of a pre-approved program of study, a tagged class, or as an independent project with support from an Immersion Vanderbilt faculty adviser. Depending on the project, presenting at a showcase or fair may be required.
Projects can take many forms, including but not limited to:
Immersion Vanderbilt... served as this scaffolding that I could build [my EP] around.
When ready, all students submit their project using the Culminating Project Submission form. Students submit only one culminating project form. Immersion Vanderbilt faculty advisers receive an email with a link to the submission, review it, and approve when projects are complete.
The title you given by students to their culminating projects and the primary immersive experience pathway are added to students' transcripts upon completion of the requirement.
Students are strongly encouraged to meet with an adviser in the Career Center to discuss how to add this project to their resume!
Once the culminating project form is approved by the faculty adviser, Immersion Vanderbilt is complete. Only one project can be counted and once complete no changes are permitted.
