College of Education Annual Research Symposium 

Term: Spring 2017

Description: The College of Education, the Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership Program (Ed.D.), and the Center for Research on Educational Access and Leadership (C-REAL) host an annual Research Symposium. The event features posters that identified solutions to educational problems based on applied research conducted by doctoral students from the P – 12 and Community College Leadership program specializations. The program includes a poster session by Ed.D. alumni, selected Master of Science students in the Educational Leadership Department, and other invited presenters. Presentation topics concentrate on P-12 and community college issues and implications for leadership, diversity, and access. Following the poster session, a panel discussion is held to further discuss their research and how the results of their studies can lead to different approaches to improving the research. This program is in result of the growing research culture in the College of Education. The talents of our faculty, staff, and students are displayed for the 200+ attendees, including many community partners

The Research Symposium was a unique experience. It was definitely a privilege to be apart of one of the selective groups to present their conducted research. It had been a year since we conducted the research but it was a great to have the chance to brush up on the information and review the results that we all found. Being able to not only present the data we found, but also in the same room with the doctoral student was a warming experience. Having the opportunity to review their research and also ask questions in regards to studies that interested me what unique and engaging. Also, this was my first research symposium so I was happy to have my confidence increased to speak in front of others with self- directed scholarly material.
