Jayson Watkins, a senior pursuing a dual major in Sport Management and Psychology,  will be presenting his research and poster this Thursday, August 4, at the 25th Annual McNair Scholars Poster Presentation & Reception. Jayson is one of seven CEHD students who are conducting research this summer under the direction of distinguished faculty research mentors as part of the TRIO/McNair Scholars Program.

The gathering provides an excellent forum to display the research efforts of these exceptional McNair Scholars along with their faculty mentors.

Jayson has been working with faculty mentor Douglas Hartmann, Ph.D., to present data from his project, “Parent Understanding of and Involvement in Organized, Out-of-School Activities.” The project is part of the Kids Involvement and Diversity Study (KIDS) in the Department of Sociology. Jason is advised by School of Kinesiology adviser Alyssa Maples and CEHD advisers Tracey Hammell and Chinh Truong.

All are invited to attend the event from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Coffman Memorial Union – Mississippi Room. Refreshments will be served.
