As a recent graduate of a doctoral program, I am cognizant of the challenges that online and face-to-face doctoral candidates face. The dissertation success coaching program, Dissertation 911 to 411, includes Coaching/Mentoring based on online and face-to-face interaction. Dissertation 911 to 411 concentrates on the finish line, the completion of the dissertation. Dissertation 911 to 411 will highlight the concept of coaching/mentoring, defined as a close relationship between the coach and the doctoral student. This program will consist of a well-defined Coaching/Mentoring program that provides training, coaching, advice, and structure to increase engagement through the dissertation phase of doctoral education.

​

Doctoral students may participate in one or all three phases of Dissertation 911 to 411. In addition, there will be four dissertation informational retreats.

​

There are three phases:

​

Phase I -- 6 hours of intense virtual sessions

​

Phase II -- 8 hours of intense virtual sessions

 

Phase III -- 8 hours of intense virtual sessions
