#SCIPIE2025 was amazing! Such an energizing conference. Dr. Anderman gave an incredible keynote. We heard from current teachers, administrators, and pre service teachers. The University of Oklahoma was a wonderful host. And I can’t wait for the next conference in Richmond in 2027! See you there!

I am so immensely impressed by these two amazing scholars. They have gone above and beyond, not only working full-time jobs, taking classes, but ALSO conducting research (which is not a requirement of our program)! It is such an honor to work with and learn from them 💖 ✨
