2020 Summer Graduate Research Assistantship recipients presented their works at the KIN graduate colloquium, including our two Ed.D. in KIN GAs, Eddy Shen and Travis Anderson. Learn more about them and their work:
Eddy Shen is a Ph.D. student in Kinesiology. He has been working for the Ed.D. in KIN program as a GA since 2019. He presented his research titled “Social and Emotional Learning Matters! Interpreting High-needs Elementary School Educators’ Perspectives on SEL with Human Developmental Theories”. Eddy said “I was very excited to have the opportunity to present my summer research at the K71IN graduate colloquium in March. It was a great opportunity for me to learn from others’ studies. Although our research topic varies, there is still valuable and interesting information or knowledge I could borrow and learn. The presentation is also a rehearsal for me to prepare for presenting this study at a national conference!”.
Travis Anderson is also a Ph.D. candidate in Kinesiology. Travis also has been involved in the Ed.D. in KIN program providing student research support as a summer GA along with partnering with a recent Ed.D. grad on a paper exploring training load monitoring in soccer players. He presented his research titled “The Effect of High-Intensity Exercise on Changes in Salivary and Serum Cortisol Proportion Dynamics”. Travis said “It was a privilege to be able to present this research to the department at the colloquium last week, and share the work being completed by our laboratory group. I am always curious about the projects that other groups in the department are completing, and thoroughly enjoy hearing about the breadth of work that the KIN department supports and produces!”.
Great work, Eddy and Travis!
