The Summer Institute satisfies the residency requirement for the student’s Doctor of Education Program. Attendance at The Summer Institute is mandatory for all students at the conclusion of year one, year two, and year three of the program. Students are expected to be present and participate in the activities for all three days for each of their required Institutes. As a result of the Summer Institute, the students will: disseminate and discuss their research, construct meaningful feedback on the research of other doctoral students, create professional relationships with faculty and doctoral students that will support their research, presentation and/or publication opportunities, and professional/academic aspirations, develop research and writing skills through participation in sessions and workshops The Summer Institute features activities for students in every year. When students are not presenting, they are expected to choose from the available presentations and participate in the sessions. In addition to student presentations, the Summer Institute features other sessions designed to promote the students’ progress in the program. Past institutes have featured guest speakers, times to meet with Dissertation Chairs, faculty research presentations, a panel on the dissertation from recent doctoral graduates, a campus tour, a visit to the world famous Mazza museum, numerous workshops, and opportunities for students to network and socialize with the members of their cohort as well as students from other cohorts.
