The summer can be a challenging and lonely time for doctoral candidates working on their dissertation, because of the lack of structure and opportunities on campus. We are providing a reocurring opportunity and space for doctoral candidates: to make progress on their dissertations and other program milestones and to get out of isolated working spaces and build community among other doctoral students/candidates.
