Hello, We hope this message finds you well. The 17th Annual COEHD Research Colloquium is taking place on Tuesday, February 25 from 3-6 pm in the HEB Ballroom on the Main Campus. The theme for this year’s colloquium is “Developing a Vision for Research in Higher Education: Contributions to Cultures, Communities, and Human Development”. This event will showcase research sessions and poster presentations from students and faculty across various colleges and disciplines, followed by a buffet reception. The event will feature a prerecorded video message with opening remarks from Mayor Ron Nirenberg, Mayor of San Antonio, followed by a keynote address by Isabel Martínez, Associate Professor and Director of Latinx, Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Northeastern University. Keynote Address Details Title: “Hope and Humanity in Uncertain Times: Leveraging Transformative Higher Education Research for a ‘Glocal’ Citizenry” Description: Despite the rapid and tumultuous shocks that are currently impacting higher education, it is imperative that higher education researchers stay the course and engage in research that promotes justice and equality for all. Our research must not only be relevant but be understood as essential for the development of an educated, glocal citizenry. This talk urges us to seize this moment and create opportunities to reimagine higher education research in ways that truly advance our society towards expanded access and liberation. We encourage you to attend and share this event with students, faculty, and staff.
