Join us at AERA in New York City!

Each year the American Educational Research Association (AERA) holds a conference in which its 25,000 members meet to explore the current research related to education, leadership, measurement, counseling, human development, and other topics closely tied to the mission of CEHS. Many of our faculty, graduate students, and alumni participate in this annual conference.

AERA is also a great time to catch up with friends and colleagues and celebrate achievements within the CEHS and UNL community. With that in mind, we are hosting a reception for CEHS alumni, faculty and students.

Please join us for appetizers and drinks...
