Even more memories from today’s research symposium. We had excellent insight from keynote and alum Dr. Michael Giangreco.

Our students make us so proud! Today was the annual Spring Horace Mann Graduate Research Symposium. 29 students shared their master’s project research this morning. Making a difference in the lives of students with disabilities.

This past Wednesday was a big day at Buffalo State University’s inaugural Student Showcase! 🐾✨

From research posters to classroom innovation, our students are making waves:

Katey Matteson-Rosowicz kicked off the morning at the SRCC, presenting her AURA-funded research on diverse disability representation in children’s books. Huge congrats to Katey for also taking 2nd place in yesterday’s 3-Minute Thesis competition! 🏆

Our Lit Block students hit the Experimental Learning Fair to share the impactful lesson plans they’ve been teaching at Holmes Elementary. 📚

ABA Master’s students (EXE 646) wrapped up the semester at the Graduate Research Fair, showcasing deep dives into the vital intersections of diversity and disability in education. 🎓

So proud of the hard work and heart these students are putting into the future of education!
