Series’ and Colloquiums

The Center hosts an annual Brown Bag Discussion Series that addresses professional development topics of interest to current doctoral students in the Educational Administration Department programs.

These events, often organized by current students and/or in response to student topical suggestions, add practical discussions to the student experience. By sharing realities of academic work, strategies for productive writing, hands-on experiences with data analysis, or other professional experiences, students gain additional skills while benefiting from hearing the expertise of faculty and alumni.
