Thirteen Stanford undergraduates presented their research at the final showcase for the 2026 Summer Research Fellowship for Educational Impact on Aug. 27.
The fully funded program engages students in rigorous, faculty-led empirical research addressing critical issues in education, particularly equity. Working in a collaborative cohort, fellows build foundational research skills while contributing to interdisciplinary studies with the potential to influence education policy and practice.
Presentation topics included educational technology, literacy assessment, school desegregation and closures, student enrollment, childcare access, language processing, and school board elections.
The 2026 fellows were Aaliyah Agyen, Hallie Dong, Naomi Kao, Morgan Deale, Bryan Gonzalez, Nina Carbuccia, Aydin Alsan, Crystal Peng, Thomas Raith, Miranda (Hao) Li, Jocelyn Moreno, Joseph McDonald, and Calista Woo.
