Richard Kyei Places 1st at 2024 SFASU Graduate Research Conference

July 8, 2024 - Congratulations to Richard Kyei, graduate student at SFASU, nephew to Lenola Wyatt of Center, and grandson of Hazel and Wymon Bolton of Shelbyville!

Richard's paper on the “'Prediction of College Students' Academic Risk Levels Using Machine Learning Models” was selected as the 1st place winner at the 2024 SFASU Graduate Research Conference! In today's changing education landscape, there is a growing interest in helping students succeed academically. When college students fall short of their potential, it has significant societal, economic, and personal consequences. This study compares machine learning models for predicting a college student's academic risk in a semester. This research can significantly contribute to identifying and providing necessary support to students who may be at risk of falling behind academically.

Way to go Richard! We are proud of you!
