L-R: Casey Mull, Dionne Rosser-Mims (Conference Organizer and Associate Director of Academics, Troy University), Jenny Jordan, and Katherine Adams

Three University of Georgia College of Education graduate students presented their research at the opening symposium of the 54th annual Adult Education Research Conference May 31 in St. Louis, Mo.

Katherine Adams, a PhD candidate; Jenny Jordan and Casey Mull, both fourth-year doctoral students, all in adult education, were invited to present their research titled, Boundary Spanning Roles in Communities & Organizations: Implications for Adult Educators at the conferences’ opening symposium.

The selection of their research for the plenary presentation in one of the most notable conferences in the field of adult education was significant because they are usually reserved for college presidents, titans of the field and well-known adult educators, said Adams. The three UGA students were also selected to write a paper that was submitted to the annual proceedings journal.

Jordan, of Bogart, is a UGA Extension 4-H specialist in volunteer and teen programs. Mull, of Athens, is a UGA Extension 4-H specialist in military programs. Adams, of Athens, is an: academic advisor in UGA’s Odum School of Ecology. Lorilee Sandmann, a professor in the department of lifelong education, administration, and policy, is the major professor for all three students.
