We are almost at the end of our first week-long summer residency for our Ed.D. program! Since the Ed.D. program is 85% online, it has been really great for everyone to see each other face-to-face! This week has been filled with engaging discussions about the students' 'problems of practice', presentations from guest speakers from the library, IRB, and our department, and opportunities to build connection within the program.

This semester’s capstone group decided they would like to share their work in a way that specifically celebrates students in the Education program. They have worked very hard this semester and will be sharing work on a great variety of topics – peacebuilding, trauma informed practices, AI use at UNH, Seacoast Reads, and much more!

Through their work this semester the group has highlighted several courses, assignments, and experiences offered here in the Education Department that have helped shape them into the educators they wish to become. Please join them to share in learning from and celebrating these wonderful students!
