Research Roundtable Series

The Graduate College of Education at San Francisco State University is excited to announce a new online Research Roundtable Series! This series aims to foster collaboration and discussion among faculty within the Graduate College of Education by providing a platform to share ongoing research projects, exchange ideas, and receive peer feedback. The roundtables will be held via Zoom on the second Thursday of the month at 1:00 p.m. during the academic year and will feature 15-minute presentations from three faculty members. Advance registration is required to attend online. We invite GCOE faculty members to apply to present and for all campus members to attend!
