Campus Collaboration

We encourage Illinois researchers, students, and scholars to collaborate with our University Primary School community as an accessible space for conducting research in education, psychology, computer science, social work, speech hearing science, communication, etc. We enjoy working with a myriad of practicum students and volunteers, as well as graduate, Illinois faculty, and visiting faculty researchers conducting observations, piloting data collection procedures, conducting case-study research, etc.

Each semester we host University student volunteers from across campus including education, social work, and speech hearing science. We work with different student organizations and units on campus, and love being a hub for interesting interactions and research projects!
