KU Center for Research on Learning (KUCRL)

Congratulations, Dr. Mike Hock, on his retirement as Director of the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning. Thank you for your hard work and leadership serving as Director for the past 10 years. We are happy you will continue as a part-time researcher at #KUCRL.
