These students were asked to transform one piece from class into another form of media. Books were turned into paintings and models, stories into knit figurines, and films into video games. Dr. Dolan noted, "Students always impress me with how creative they are in these projects. One of the best parts is how closely they work with the original source material."
Senior Capstone Presentations
In May 2022, English and Technical Communication senior students in Dr. Daniel Reardon's English 4290 presented their capstone presentations inside the new Collabratory space. The students presented their professional e-portfolios, which featured their best work in Missouri S&T courses, internships and co-ops, organizational activities, and other work-related projects.
