It was a very busy day filled with new classes some reflection time and we finished with a program overview and update. If you are not a new or current PhD student at Union you are probably asking what is a program overview?
In July of 2006 I had the honor of being a member of the first cohort class at Union. A program that can be completed in three years, it was the top pick for me and had all the substance and interdisciplinary options that I needed and wanted. It just worked for me!
Now in 2008, a lot has changed. With five full cohorts in the residency we now are able to really feel like a bustling university environment full of great people, great ideas and a lot of learning. The PhD cohort program at Union has made many changes to build to this point where soon there will always be six cohorts in residence at any given time. These changes (too many to count) have really helped build what I believe is a great place to grow as a academic and more importantly a socially conscience individual of society.
Hats off to all the faculty and admin that made this happen! With out your dedication and creativity we would not be where we are today!
So hear is to another great residency….. cheers!
