Crane graduate students participate in EHE Research Forum

A dozen current and former graduate students with links to the Crane Center gave presentations at the 2025 EHE Research Forum, sponsored by the Office of Research, Innovation and Collaboration (ORIC) in Ohio State’s College of Education and Human Ecology.

These scholars, who are at the beginning of their research careers, gave oral and poster presentations on a wide range of topics in early childhood — including early language learning, students with disabilities, and dual language learners.

Through graduate student associateships, the Crane Center offers graduate students the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research while receiving support for their graduate studies at Ohio State. Graduate students often discover their dissertation topics from the research they participate in at Crane.

We congratulate all the current and former Crane-associated graduate students who participated in this year’s EHE Research Forum.
