Graduate-level teacher candidates in the Exceptional Education Department will showcase their master's research projects and share effective practices with colleagues and community educators during the Dr. Horace “Hank” Mann Graduate Research Symposium on Saturday, May 5, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the Bulger Communication Center.

This year, to extend the incredible legacy of Dr. Horace “Hank” Mann, the sixth annual symposium will officially be named in his honor. Mann joined Buffalo State in 1953 as the director of the Exceptional Children Education Division. Under his leadership, the college’s exceptional education undergraduate and graduate programs rose to national prominence and became among the largest in the United States. Mann passed away in November 2010 at the age of 88.

Rosenberg, '75, '79, professor of special education and associate dean for research at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Education, will deliver the keynote address, "Developing, Implementing, and Sustaining Comprehensive Culturally Responsive Behavior Management Systems: Using Data to Bridge the Research-to-Practice Gap."

The event is free and open to educators in the community. Attendees are encouraged to register in advance for the event, although walk-ins will be welcome.
