My advisee Jackie Ridley is a recipient of a 2018 Ray Travel Award for Service and Scholarship, a highly competitive grant awarded by the Council of Graduate Students. At Ohio State, the Ray Award is given to applicants who are actively engaged in academic service within the university as well as the community. The Ray Award will support Jackie as she presents a co-authored paper on ESL Teacher Advocacy for Multilingual Students at the 2018 TESOL International conference in Chicago this spring.
