ED Talks
These five-minute talks- using up to 10 slides- are intended for anyone, but especially students, looking to give a brief, high impact presentation to a receptive audience. ED Talks are great for first-time presenters or those presenting on a new topic, as the environment is supportive and decidedly informal.

We will accept any topic you would like to present, but are especially interested in topics that are timely and focus on the impact of recent legislation on higher education. Past topics have included:
- Adultification Bias & Fostering Black Girlhood
- The Psychologist's Role in Community Recovery
- Physicality in Therapy
- Lessons Learned From Working With a Minor League Baseball Team
Interested? Submit a 50- to 100-word summary of your project. Spots for Ed Talks are limited - those interested are encouraged to apply as soon as possible!

If you have any questions please reach out to Matana Hoffman at KPAFellow@KPA.org
