11th Annual Dean's Symposium

On Monday, February 5th, the College of Education hosted the 11th Annual Dean's Symposium at the FSU Convention Center. The symposium topic this year was Public Scholarship. The presenters shared with us how they have conducted research with community partners and used their research to make a difference in people’s lives.

One presentation focused on The SHED - Center for Sport, Health, & Equitable Development
