COE continues Research Wednesdays Speaker Series
In 2008, the College of Education began its Research Wednesdays Speaker Series, which provides a platform for exploring new ways of conducting and disseminating educational research. The program also provides an opportunity for discussion around new methods of mentoring doctoral students to enhance their development as researchers. While the series gives COE faculty members and graduate students an opportunity to hear innovative and thought-provoking speakers, it also fulfills an important professional development need by providing access to cutting edge researchers at the state and national levels. The Research Wednesdays Speaker Series was developed in direct response to the recommendation of the COE research committee of the 2008 Strategic Planning Committee. The committee recommended that a research and scholarship colloquium be established where faculty and students can share their work with colleagues and the community at large. The program was then collaboratively organized by Dr. Susan Ogletree, director of the COE's Educational Research Bureau, and Dr. Sheryl Gowen, chair of the Department of Educational Policy Studies, with input from Dean Randy Kamphaus and the COE department chairs. Research Wednesdays is held every Wednesday of the month at 12 noon in the College of Education. Attendance is open to the public and an RSVP is required to attend.
