Faculty-Led Research Support Organization

Welcome to the Bagwell College of Education Research Consortium. The Research Consortium is a faculty-driven organization intended to provide support to BCOE faculty and graduate students for research design, implementation, and data analysis. The 2015-2016 academic year served as the pilot year for this organization to test program structure and operations. The Research Consortium Committee (RCC) is made up of one elected representative from each BCOE department/school.

Think 30 minutes isn't enough to even make a dent in your scholarship? Join the challenge and prepare to be amazed. As in prior years, we will also track individual results.

    Over the four-week period of March Madness, faculty who write the most will be part of the Sweet Sixteen (after Week 1), advance to the Elite Eight (after Week 2), and then the Final Four (after Week 3). Which individual faculty member will take the prize for the most time spent writing? Join the Challenge!
