Last Friday, the Anne\u2019s College Research Showcase at the Augustus B. Turnbull III Florida State Conference Center brought together FSU faculty and staff to discuss research opportunities, grants and promote departmental collaboration.<\/p>\n
Featuring more than 300 students and faculty from the renowned Anne Spencer Daves College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences<\/a> (Anne\u2019s College), the event was an opportunity for participants to present their work that places an emphasis on real-world impact.<\/p>\n Damon Andrew<\/a>, dean of Anne\u2019s College, provided remarks at the showcase ceremony that summed up the everyday ambitions of the college\u2019s research.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery year I look forward to this conference, which showcases the very best research activities being undertaken by our college\u2019s faculty and students,\u201d Andrew said. \u201cWhile we come from various scientific disciplines and utilize a broad range of methodological conventions and techniques, we all share the common goal of using our research to maximize human potential.\u201d<\/p>\n With approximately 233 PowerPoint and poster presentations, and more than 300 students and faculty presenting current research, the showcase covered endless topics that impact day-to-day life and span across several disciplines. Presenters tackled issues related to ultra-processed foods, artificial intelligence in the classrooms, workplace accommodations, mental health in schools and much more.<\/p>\n Joshua Newman<\/a>, associate dean for research at Anne\u2019s College, asserts that the caliber of work being conducted offers valuable solutions for both Floridians and a broader audience.<\/p>\n \u201cResearch is at its core is about value proposition, because we\u2019re really trying to answer tough questions but provide solutions to problems that face families across Florida and the region even beyond,\u201d Newman said. \u201cIn our college, we have a very strong commitment to making sure that we\u2019re doing research that doesn\u2019t just get published in journals but is making an impact in people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Dean Damon Andrew provided remarks at the showcase ceremony that summed up the everyday ambitions of the college\u2019s research.

Anna Seymore, a master\u2019s student in the college\u2019s School of Teacher Education<\/a>, benefited from being able to show her work to a large audience.<\/p>\n Seymore\u2019s presentation \u201cComedy for Comedy\u2019s Sake: Teaching Humor in ELA to Give Students a Bold New Skillset,\u201d focused on integrated comedy as a standalone concept within the English Language Arts curriculum. Her research aims to help students master comedy\u2019s specific grammars of design, identify and analyze the four key comedic devices (satire, parody, contrast and subversion) and develop themselves into active producers of digital and literary humor.<\/p>\n Seymore feels the Anne\u2019s College Research Showcase provides a golden opportunity for students to present their work on a grander scale in front of a receptive audience.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s so important to get these kinds of experiences to, number one, put your work out there,\u201d Seymore said. \u201cTo dig into something and explore something you really are passionate about, where it\u2019s going to further your education. You get to meet all kinds of people. I got such a great experience meeting all kinds of people and seeing the research that they did, while also getting to put my own work out there.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Anna Seymore, a master’s student in the college’s School of Teacher Education, discusses her presentation about integrating comedy as a standalone concept in English Language Arts curriculum with Florida State University Communications.

In the past two years, faculty have secured 10 national academy fellowships and other prestigious awards.<\/p>\n Dean Andrew also noted the college\u2019s elevated national rankings, with multiple departments earning top five marks. Among its peers nationally, Anne\u2019s College ranks in the top five with over $84 million in research funding \u2013 a sharp increase from $17 million in 2020.<\/p>\n \u201cThis has been an incredible year for Anne\u2019s College,\u201d Andrew added. \u201cOur college research enterprise has experienced remarkable growth across all key metrics.\u201d<\/p>\n Together, the work on display underscored how Anne\u2019s College is turning rigorous scholarship into real\u2011world solutions that expand opportunity, strengthen communities and embrace translational research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Faculty at Anne’s College are known for conducting research that provides real-world impact.
