PsTL Graduate Student Showcase

PsTL recently hosted a Graduate Student Showcase for incoming and first year MA students to hear presentations on Plan A Thesis and Plan B Capstone projects from alumni and soon-to-be graduates. The event was held to allow new students to see what the difference is between a Plan A and a Plan B and the diversity of what these projects can look like. The presentations allowed faculty, staff, and students in attendance to learn more about both the individual presenters and their topic of interest as well as the program as a whole. Presenters included Evetta Inman (University YMCA Guiding Document), Simone Gbolo (African American Student Experiences: A Networking Group in High School), Sara Schoen (Online Learning with Equity Pedagogy and Chickering and Gamson), Shade’ Osifuye (Sustainability, Access, and Retention for Students with Disabilities at the University of Nairobi), and Anise McDowell (Building Leadership: A Practical Application of the Social Change Model of Leadership in a Multicultural Context). The department is proud of these students and is confident that some of the “mystery” was taken out of completing a master’s program. Additionally new professional relationships and networks were formed. Thank you to all who participated and assisted in the success of this event.
