Everyone involved in doctoral study experiences face many transitions as they proceed through their degree program. Transitions may be related to work, family, identity, role, and other aspects of one's life, and may be viewed differently at different phases of doctoral study. A panel of faculty and doctoral students will discuss their experiences and the activities/strategies that will assist participants in meeting their doctoral student goals. The seminar will include small group time to network with faculty and doctoral student peers. Some of the topics covered will include:How can I avoid becoming an ABD?
- What things can I do to increase my chance of success in graduate school?
- What skills are necessary to successfully complete a doctoral degree?
- What strategies are available to resolve difficult issues with my advisor/committee?
- What opportunities are there to fund a dissertation study?
- How do I prepare for the dissertation writing process?
- How do I prepare for the administrative and faculty job markets?
- How do I prepare for life after the Ed.D./Ph.D.?
