Grad Rebel Student Highlight: Kris Miguel

Kris Miguel is a third-year doctoral candidate in the Department of Teaching and Learning. His research interests center on pre-service teaching, teacher self-efficacy, and student experiences in educational environments. Prior to attending the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), Kris earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. He completed the Graduate Mentoring Skills Certification and the Graduate Research Certification.

While in his program, he has had the opportunity to collaborate on research papers within the UNLV College of Education, gaining firsthand experience in research and academic publishing. In addition to his work with the College of Education, his collaborative research has expanded across interdisciplinary topics and departments, including Computer Science and Public Health. His research examines student experiences, curriculum, and school climate within educational settings.

From August 2024 to 2025, he supported UNLV’s student-run newspaper, The Scarlet and Gray Free Press, as its news editor and is an active member of the Graduate Rebel Student Association, Grad Pride Alliance, and Q:UNLV. He also serves as a graduate student liaison for the Graduate Studies Committee and a Grad Rebel Advantage mentor.

Outside of his work across campus, Kris has also presented at professional conferences, including the Literacy Research Association 2025 Annual Conference, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education conference, and the Association of Teacher Educators conference.
