Research Statement

School of Education and Human Services Research Statement
Research and scholarship are vital parts of the mission of the School of Education and Human Services. Our research and scholarship advances knowledge and addresses critical issues in education, counseling and human services. We believe that research and scholarship are essential components of providing first-class undergraduate and graduate education and integral to our collaborative work with practitioners in local school and professional communities. Research and scholarship not only inform our program offerings but also the pedagogical approaches of our highly regarded faculty.

Research Support Committee
Our faculty-led Research Support Committee (RSC) reflects our school’s commitment to supporting faculty research through monetary awards for travel, research and grant-writing. We are also here to review and provide feedback on external grant proposals, host brown-bag sessions on faculty topics of interest (e.g. pivot training, OakShare, the grant submission process) and connect SEHS faculty to other research support activities occurring on campus.
