When Ryan Walker attended a national education conference in January with other students in the University of Arkansas science education program, he was surprised to find that his institution had one of the largest groups in attendance.
"It was amazing," said the doctoral student from Washington state. "We had seven people from the University of Arkansas attending the conference of the Association for Science Teacher Education. The next largest group had two or three graduate students. We were a powerhouse."
