- Review the Capstone Project Overview to familiarize yourself with the overall project. You will only be working on Stage 1 right now.
- Download two PowerPoint templates: CVAT Coastal City Audit and the Capstone Coastal City Slides, in Canvas Module 1. Read these over so that you gain a better understanding of what you are working towards.
- Choose 3 cities from the following list that you would like to focus on for the rest of the semester (you will be assigned one of them). Include at least TWO U.S. Cities and at least ONE city from another country in your selections and rank them first, second, and third choice.

- Submit your choices by the due date to Capstone Project Stage 1 (City Selection).
- So that we have a range of cities represented by the class, you will be assigned your first choice if you are the first or second person to propose it. If two people propose it before you, you will get your second or third choice. The goal is for no city to be represented by more than three people. If we have too many people choosing one city, I may have to ask some people to choose again.
- I will post the list of cities against everyone’s name in the assignment comment box by the end of Module 3.
