The Capstone Council is a volunteer organization comprised of former campus leaders who were inspired by Jean O’Connor-Snyder, sponsor of the Crimson Girls, later known as the Capstone Men and Women. Capstone Council created the Capstone Leadership Academy to honor Jean O’Connor-Snyder’s legacy of mentoring and inspiring countless student leaders during her time at UA.  

Members of the Capstone Council are actively involved with all aspects of CLA. They review applications, find engaging speakers, plan activities and mentor participants throughout the CLA sessions. Current Capstone Men & Women assist the Capstone Council with CLA each year, ensuring that the time participants spend on campus is both fun and applicable for high school students.
