The College of Community Innovation and Education’s annual Research Impact Showcase highlights the innovative, interdisciplinary research graduate students and faculty engage in. This year’s showcase, held on March 27 at the Morgridge International Reading Center, featured three sessions during which students and faculty representing various disciplines within the college shared their work via poster presentations.
Topics ranged from transfer student success pathways and first responders’ mental health to language and literacy development. The showcase culminated in three graduate students receiving awards for research and presentation excellence:

First Place: Krystle Roman

Second Place: Sadia Ruiz-Baxter

Third Place: Jesica Lovelace
