1. Highlight student scholarly endeavors within our school and celebrate research that is completed or underway
2. Create an opportunity for School of Education students at all levels to think about research and how it improves our respective fields
3. Recognize and appreciate the work of student peers

Finally, on Thursday, December 9 at 6 p.m. there will be a closing ceremony on Zoom. During the event on December 9 there will be a virtual live research panel presentation, and then awards will be given for the exemplary poster presentations.

1. Proposed Research
   This includes research that has not entered data collection, however uses the research process for problem identification, research question formation, and a plan for conducting research. This area would fit well for introductory research methods classes or students in the planning phase of honors theses. Posters would walk through this planning phase of research and likely include background, purpose and methods sections, though no specific format is required.
2. Completed Research or Research In Progress
   This includes scholarly research that is either in the data collection process without final results or research that has been completed. This can include scholarship conducted for honors theses, class projects that utilize the research process, faculty/student research collaborations, and independent research.
3. Experiential Education and Clinical Practice Reflections
   This includes critical reflection of fieldwork experiences through internship opportunities and clinical practice placements. Posters will include reflection on the site, clients/students, assignments/role, as well as what the presenter learned through the experience and a reflection on how they impacted their site. This could work well for social work placements, clinical experiences in education, counseling, and speech language pathology, health studies professional seminar internships, and nursing clinical placements.
4. Creative Practice
   This category is designed to highlight other scholarship that is taking place in the classroom that involves thoughtful inquiry or analysis according to the standards of your field. This category may include development of a lesson plan based on current pedagogy, an in-depth analysis of a policy or problem in the field, or a service learning experience that transformed understanding of the field. This category might also include timely and creative practices that were developed in the face of a virtual/hybrid Covid-19 educational environment. These are just examples, and this category is designed to demonstrate that scholarship in each field is often more broad than a traditional social science research paradigm.
