= Introduction =

A student’s Division III is the culmination of a year’s worth of hard work and dedication. It is a project that marks the end of a student’s time at Hampshire, and serves as a way for students to use, in one way or another, all that they have learned in Division I and II. While we tried our best to profile as many as we could, we regret that we could not showcase every graduating Division IIIs. The Climax would like to congratulate all the graduating Division III students on completing these final projects and wish them the best of luck in all their future endeavors.
