2021 Staff Research and Service

We are committed to sharing our expertise with colleagues on- and off-campus, and we value the best practices, new perspectives, and innovative strategies our research, teaching, and service efforts afford. 

Our staff members' educational research contributes to the evidence-based theories and practices that inform CTE's work. In 2020-2021, our staff received 2 research grants, published 5 peer-reviewed articles, and delivered 10 presentations at peer-reviewed conferences.
