Student Spotlight: Morgan Stansell
Morgan, a FUSE recipient, was recently recognized at the KATE Conference at NKU. A member of the WKU Literacy Ambassadors and an Elementary Education major, Morgan explored the Impact of Community Engagement on Teacher Candidate Self-Efficacy and Ability to Provide Book Access. Her research examines how literacy-related community engagement influences teacher candidates' self-efficacy, their views on the impact of book access on students, and how sharing curated books with students shapes their perspectives on book access, literacy engagement, and text selection, with a particular focus on addressing "book deserts". Congratulations for this well-deserved recognition!
