UMBC’s Dissertation House begins Tuesday, July 6!

Dr. Janet Rutledge, UMBC's Graduate Dean, talks with doctoral candidate participants at the July 2009 Summer Dissertation House on UMBC's Campus. Participants came from a variety of departments across campus including Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Information Systems, Public Policy, Mechanical Engineering, Gerontology, and Psychology.

Following a successful Dissertation House session at the University of Maryland Baltimore (Medical School, Downtown campus), we are looking forward to welcoming UMBC’s students next week. This is the first summer that we are hosting Dissertation Houses on all three of the public doctoral research campuses in Maryland and the students say that they appreciate the convenience of having local sessions.  UMBC’s DH will be held in Room 329 of the Commons. Sessions will be at 9:00 AM sharp. Breakfast, lunch, and a snack will be provided free of charge to all participants.

The Dissertation House at UMBC is sponsored by the UMBC Graduate School and PROMISE: Maryland’s AGEP. The Dissertation House addresses graduate school retention, a core value of UMBC.
