Conference theme:

With spring comes renewed optimism. This year, the Graduate School of Education Student Research Symposium will be a gathering of ideas with the power to grow the seeds for change. These ideas and the potential they hold will shed new light after a long year of reckoning with global challenges such as the ongoing pandemic, systemic racism, health inequities, climate change impacts, and more — offering renewed optimism for the future. Researchers, educators and professionals can cultivate this optimism in the work they do. This symposium is an exciting opportunity to work collaboratively, both within and across disciplines, to encourage GSE students to share their ideas and optimism in this new climate. We welcome research posters, papers, and panels that share this theme.

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Patricia (Tish) Jennings
