Knowledge in Action
Fellowships Day May 16, 2025
Presented by The Fellowships in Applied Studies
HB’s Fellowships in Applied Studies
HB’s Fellowships in Applied Studies give students the chance to diverge from the traditional academic framework, explore unique interests, and put their knowledge in action through hands-on, real world contexts. The students sharing their capstone project work today have engaged in a wide range of coursework and experiences over the course of their years in the Upper School at HB, including travel, internships, sustained investigations, academic writing, research, entrepreneurship, management, advocacy and action. Their capstone projects are the culmination of this work.
You can find descriptions of all the projects students completed this year in the following pages, with information about when and how they will be presented. Students are listed alphabetically by Fellowship.
