The College of Education, Health and Human Sciences’ Dean’s Graduate Student Advisory Board hosted the 15th Annual Graduate Student Research Colloquium on Friday, March 1, at the Frieson Black Cultural Center on the campus of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Graduate students presented their research in a conference setting while receiving feedback from faculty and other graduate students in attendance while practicing their presentation skills. Each presenter was selected from a group of four outstanding abstracts from each of the eight academic departments while others were chosen to participate in one of two poster sessions. Both groups had the opportunity to receive professional development awards and the prestige of the addition of participation in the colloquium to their resume.
Awards were presented as follows:
