E-Docs

Every time when I post up a new and exciting group that I think no one has heard of, I often ponder, "How am I going to top that?"

Well this group certainly seems "untoppable". E-Docs is a professional organization that brings together doctoral students, doctoral alumni, and faculty to engage in social and academic interactions beyond the walls of the classroom. Their hopes are for such interaction to create collegial friendships and opportunities to learn and grow from each other.

In basic terms, it's a support group for people working on their doctorate. I have no plans to earn a doctorate, nor do I want them, but I'm sure those who are working on theirs need all the support they can get.

If you are interested in the group they have three prerequisites for eligibility:

1. Graduate students enrolled in a doctoral program in the College of Education at UA
2. Alumni who have received their doctorate from the COE of the University of Akron
3. Faculty or administrators who hold rank in the College of Education at UA

Voting Members: Currently enrolled in doctoral studies, who have completed at least 3-hours of graduate studies and are in good standing with a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Non-voting members: Faculty, administrators, alumni, or doctoral students who have not completed 3- hours of graduate studies or have a GPA below 3.0.
