Jaekyung Lee receives AERA Early Career Award
4/11/2007
Jaekyung Lee, Associate Professor of Counseling, School and Educational Psychology in the Graduate School of Education (GSE), received the Early Career Award during the American Educational Research Association's (AERA) 88th annual meeting in Chicago. Lee's research focuses on educational equity and achievement.
Lee, who earned his doctorate from the University of Chicago, said he was "humbled and honored to receive this prestigious award," which is given each year to a scholar who has conducted a distinguished program of cumulative educational research within the first decade of receiving a doctoral degree.
GSE Dean Mary H. Gresham commended the choice of Lee for the award.
"Professor Lee is committed to unlocking the keys to student potential among diverse groups and his very active research program confirms this," Gresham said. "Too often this potential is overlooked because of limitations in either assessing the talent, or in understanding how to interpret and utilize the existing data that describes the so-called achievement gap. As this award suggests, Professor Lee's research is of critical import in our attempt to close the gap."
