Education Doctoral Student Builds Connections at Conference

Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice doctoral student Ashley Wiedow attended the national conference for Kappa Delta Pi, where she made a presentation and built connections with other educators.

Wiedow is a third-year doctoral student earning her Ed.D. with a double major in Applied Behavioral Analysis and Special Education. She also serves as the president of the Omega Theta chapter of KDP. Wiedow served as the representative of the chapter and attended the first in-person KDP conference in several years in St. Louis.

Wiedow, a board-certified behavioral analyst, said she enjoyed meeting and connecting with other educators.

Wiedow’s presentation alongside her mentor described teaching as a compass and how it can take one in many different directions, something her mentors did for her as an educator navigating the field of behavior analysis.

The Omega Theta chapter was recognized during the conference and received multiple awards as one of the highest leadership chapters, and Wiedow won the award for Chapter Leader of the Year.
