Sponsored by The Ohio State University Office of Diversity and Inclusion, the three-day Dissertation Boot Camp provides Ohio State ABD students with the space to work on their dissertations/EdD projects.

In a stimulating environment, participants develop a plan to complete their degree work in a timely fashion and receive valuable one-on-one coaching and feedback from experienced faculty. The boot camp serves to create a strong support system across academic disciplines.

*Students who wish to participate in the Boot Camp must have started writing their dissertation (or writing project) by mid-January. You will need to submit your writing samples prior to the retreat for your assigned faculty coach's review.
