Four incoming School of Education Ph.D. students presented their research at UCI's Summer Research Symposium on August 15 at the UCI Student Center. The students had been selected for participation in UCI's 8-week Competitive Edge program, designed to support entering graduate students from diverse backgrounds who plan to pursue an academic career. During the eight-week program, the students lived on campus; were mentored by faculty advisors and current graduate students on a research topic in their area of interest; and attended workshops, lectures, and other university events.

On August 15, the students presented their research findings in a symposium open to the public. Click on the topic links below to access the presentation abstracts.
