This August we had three Capstone Showcase events: for the Master of Information and Cybersecurity (MICS) program, the Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) program, and the 5th Year MIDS program.
Capstone projects are the culmination of the MICS and MIDS students’ work in their respective I School programs. Over the course of their final semester, teams of students propose and select project ideas, conduct and communicate their work, receive and provide feedback, and deliver compelling presentations along with a web-based final deliverable.
Congratulations to our winners, and to all the students who completed Capstone this summer!

Full-Loop Privacy
Alanna Franklin, Pragathi Gopal, Hakeem Oseni, and Ryan Tenorio
Practicing privacy by design is a multidisciplinary effort that requires organizations to shift left and detect potential issues before they occur. Through a taxonomy of privacy risk(s) from the policy level to the technical level, Full Loop Privacy leverages the systems and languages stakeholders are already familiar with to automatically find and communicate issues during development and allow teams to collaborate with confidence.
