Week 6: Final Capstone Project and Reflection

“There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.”
–Jiddu Krishnamurti, Indian Theosophist

You will be forgiven if you look upon the coming week as bittersweet. It is both an end and a beginning. It is the culmination of your final Capstone course and the end of your degree program. But at the same time, it is a new beginning; a chance for you to put your degree into action and to launch what should be a most gratifying chapter in your professional life.

Despite this transition, the quote above is meant to remind and inspire you to embrace the opportunity to learn anywhere and everywhere you go. As you complete the final reflective assignments this week and anticipate the excitement of graduation, take a moment to appreciate how much has changed for you and within you because of your experiences at Walden University. Although you may not realize it, you have created a foundation of learning that you can now build upon at work, at home, in your community, and in the world.

You should be justly proud of what you have achieved and of the degree you have earned.

Good luck, and congratulations!
