Research Projects
Megan Marshall completed a Certificate in Accessibility Studies in 2021. Her capstone project was an empirical study of “The Extent Deafness is Mentioned in Central Washington University's Elementary Education Program Curriculum.” Her method of organizing data inspired several students as they designed their own capstone projects.
