About the Symposium

New Horizons: Transforming Lifelong Education Through Innovation and Research is our theme for the symposium. We encourage participants to explore the transformative potential of their research endeavors. Aligned with the shared vision of the educational community, including members of the UF College of Education, we aim to inspire positive change and advancement in the field. As researchers, educators, and practitioners, your contributions play a pivotal role in shaping the future of education. Through this symposium, we seek to facilitate meaningful dialogues and interdisciplinary collaborations, cultivating innovative solutions and strategies to address the evolving needs of learners and educators. Join us as we embark on this journey to empower change and make a lasting impact on education.

As in previous years, we understand the term "research" broadly and welcome submissions of original social science research, historical inquiry, practitioner inquiry, and other research projects that deepen our understanding of education in a variety of settings, both formal and informal. Faculty members who have collaborated with undergraduate students as intern mentors or teacher pairs, graduate students, and practitioners in various school districts are especially encouraged to submit their proposals.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• Engage in interdisciplinary discussions that foster innovation and collaboration

• Gain conference-style presentation experience in a supportive academic setting

• Contribute to conversations that shape the future of education

• Receive valuable feedback to refine and advance your research

• Be eligible for awards recognizing outstanding presentations*

* Only paper and poster presentations will be eligible for awards.
