Just one year ago at this time, I began my first reading assignments for Dr. Michael McLendon’s leadership course. This weekend, my cohort and I officially start our second year at Peabody. No longer are we first-year Ed. D. students but now second-year. It really makes a psychological difference; we are one-third of the way through our doctoral studies. We are not new to the program anymore. A whole other group of nervous, excited, and curious individuals will begin their Ed. D. studies this weekend. My cohort will be there for them, first of all this Saturday delivering breakfast treats and offering our greetings, but we hope the interaction does not end this weekend. The arrangement of Peabody’s Ed. D. provides the fortunate opportunity of networking and building friendships with classmates, and we hope to foster those sorts of relationships with the new cohort. After all, we know what is it like to begin this wild and glorious journey that is a doctoral program.
