Haring Center
Haring Center Fellows

In addition to conducting educational research, an important function of the Haring Center is to train the next generation of researchers, preparing them to be leaders in the field of special education research. Each year, a doctoral student in the area of special education is awarded the Haring Family Endowed Fellowship to support their studies and professional development. This fellowship allows promising students to plan and execute their dissertation studies, while refining their research skills and preparing for a future in educational research. Below is a list of the Haring Center Endowed Fellows to date, along with the title of their dissertation. For more information about any of the Fellows or their research, please contact Dr. Ilene Schwartz at ilene@uw.edu.
