Sydney Freeman and Brandon Wolfe, both doctoral candidates in higher education administration, recently presented research in an Ivy-covered setting.
Both students were selected to make presentations at the 15th Annual Student Research Conference hosted by Harvard's Graduate School of Education in March. The conference, "Education in the Global Age: Realities and Possibilities,'' featured 188 participants from universities nationwide who delivered their own research findings in roundtable sessions, as well as paper and poster presentations, and explored what it means to educate in the global age.
Freeman's presentation, "The University President's Knowledge Skills and Competencies: A Review of the Literature,'' explored the potential impact such leaders have on the national educational system. Freeman reviewed literature on higher education administration programs and the university presidency and examined the relationship between preparing for the presidency and its implications on graduate curriculum in higher education administration.

Wolfe focused on the state of African Americans and their history relating to leadership access and equity.
