SUNYA STUDENTS GET FEDERAL GRANTS
Two students in the School of Education at State University of
New York at Albany have been awarded grants from the United States
Office of Education to conduct research in Puerto Rico. They leave
this month to begin their studies which are expected to take approx-
imately a year.
Antonio T. Diaz-Royo, whose field is counseling and personnel
services, and Raul Mayo, whose specialty is educational psychology,
will carry out their doctoral research in two Puerto Rican Highlands
communities, supported in part by the federal grants. The financial
assistance makes the studies possible because they provide some of
the living expenses and all of the research expenses.
Mr. Diaz-Royo will study ''The Enculturation Process of Puerto
Rican Highland Children.'' Research conducted by Mr. Mayo is enti-
tled "Language Development and Communicative Competence in Puerto
Rican Highland Children.'' The researchers and their families will
live in the communities they are using for their bases. They will
work in different communities, but nearby, in order that they may com-
municate continually on their scholarly endeavors.
Coordinating the logistics of the two projects will be Eduardo J.
Rivera-Medina, an associate professor at the University of Puerto
Rico who received a doctoral degree in May from SUNYA. He also is
coordinating several other federally-funded projects that originate on
the mainland. Eduardo Seda-Bonilla, also of the University of Puerto
Rico, is a member of Mr. Diaz-Royo's doctoral committee. He will
be available to observe and advise on the study.

SUNYA STUDENTS GET FEDERAL GRANTS
Two students in the School of Education at State University of
New York at Albany have been awarded grants from the United States
Office of Education to conduct research in Puerto Rico. They leave
this month to begin their studies which are expected to take approx-
imately a year.
Antonio T. Diaz-Royo, whose field is counseling and personnel
services, and Raul Mayo, whose specialty is educational psychology,
will carry out their doctoral research in two Puerto Rican Highlands
communities, supported in part by the federal grants. The financial
assistance makes the studies possible because they provide some of
the living expenses and all of the research expenses.
Mr. Diaz-Royo will study "The Enculturation Process of Puerto
Rican Highland Children,"' Research conducted by Mr. Mayo is enti-
tled "Language Development and Communicative Competence in Puerto
Rican Highland Children.'' The researchers and their families will
live in the communities they are using for their bases. They will
work in different communities, but nearby, in order that they may com-
municate continually on their scholarly endeavors.
Coordinating the logistics of the two projects will be Eduardo J.
Rivera-Medina, an associate professor at the University of Puerto
Rico who received a doctoral degree in May from SUNYA. He also is
coordinating several other federally-funded projects that originate on
the mainland. Eduardo Seda-Bonilla, also of the University of Puerto
Rico, is a member of Mr, Diaz-Royo's doctoral committee. He will
be available to observe and advise on the study.
