UK College of Education Hosts Research Conference for Students

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 7, 2016) -- The University of Kentucky College of Education recently hosted the annual Spring Research Conference. The conference allows graduate and undergraduate students to present their research, whether it is completed, in progress or at the proposal stage. This event provides a welcoming context in which to receive feedback.

The day included presentations by students from the UK College of Education, University of Louisville College of Education and Human Development, and University of Cincinnati College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services, co-sponsors of the event.

“The purpose of the conference is to provide students an opportunity to present their research in a friendly environment and receive constructive comments on their work as well as their presentations,” said Rob Shapiro, associate dean for research, analytics and graduate student success at the UK College of Education. “It serves as a great learning experience for the students.”

Students gave presentations of their projects or used posters to present their findings. Sessions throughout the day focused on various aspects of research supported by the three colleges.

Sponsored annually by the three universities, the Spring Research Conference rotates among campuses each year.
