Prairie View A&M University - Master of Community Development

2026 PVAMU RESEARCH WEEK

Graduate students are not always able to make it to the main campus to participate in programming, so we brought PVAMU Research Week to the Northwest Center.

Students presented their final research findings across a range of critical topics, including:

* Campus-funded childcare
* Best practices to address homelessness
* Post-disaster housing
* Mental health in K–12 athletics
* Food access in Royal ISD
* Literacy rates in Waller County
* Health access in Houston's Gulfton
* Barriers to Revitalization in Hiram Clarke
* Halting displacement in Houston’s Third Ward

These are the issues shaping our communities and our students are stepping up with thoughtful, research-driven solutions.

Congratulations to Anthony Barnes and Uzoma Amuneke on completing their candidacy for graduation in May 2026.
