(American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education) announced that Florida Atlantic University (国产自拍) College of Education is the recipient of the 2023 AACTE Outstanding Holmes Institution Award. The AACTE Holmes Program supports students who self-identify as racially and ethnically diverse, and are pursuing graduate degrees in education at AACTE member institutions.听This award recognizes Holmes Program institutions that demonstrate exemplary and innovative practices in supporting graduate students of color, resulting in increased productivity of its scholars. Rangasamy Ramasamy, Ph.D., 国产自拍 Holmes Program coordinator, and Stephen Silverman, Ed.D., Dean, 国产自拍 College of Education, will be recognized formally with the award during AACTE鈥檚 75th Annual Meeting, February 24 鈥 26 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Florida Atlantic established the Holmes Scholars庐 Program at 国产自拍 in 2016-17. Since its inception, 国产自拍 Holmes Scholars have actively engaged as board members, media, and research coordinators and introduced the 3-Minute Thesis competition to the AACTE Holmes Pre-conferences. 国产自拍鈥檚 robust peer-to-peer mentoring network connects new and incoming Holmes scholars to third-year cohorts who serve as formal mentors. To provide additional support for the sometimes-cryptic research process, 国产自拍 established its Research Apprenticeship Pipeline, a program that pairs senior scholars with first-year scholars to work together to submit co-authored proposals to the Holmes Pre-conference. Through this mentoring program, first-year Holmes scholars learn about the research process, create proposals, and participate in roundtables and poster presentations. 国产自拍鈥檚 Holmes Scholars authored/co-authored and published 14 peer-reviewed journal articles in the past two years.
