28 August 2019 Dear Colleagues, As a 45-year member of AERA, it gives me great pleasure to forward this very new opportunity to you and your undergraduate students. Please share this training experience with undergraduates who have potential for research at UTSA and for learning from the American Education Research Association Conference at-large. Students will have an outstanding opportunity that will shape their career and research aspirations. I spoke at the workshop Symposia for undergraduates, two years ago, met undergraduates from Tier I schools, and found the structure and content highly valuable. I have found that orally encouraging our students to apply makes a big difference!
