Antioch's
New PhD. in Leadership Starts Strong!
By Laurien
Alexandre,
University-wide Dean and PhD Director
Antioch
University's
new and distinctive PhD in Leadership and Change Program opened its
doors in January 2002. In less than a year, the
program already has a vibrant, geographically dispersed learning community of
approximately
40 doctoral students representing a tremendous diversity in terms of
profession, age, gender and ethnicity. Approximately 20% of our student body
are Antioch
graduates.
The program also has hired its first two founding
faculty, scholars with national reputations and a strong commitment
to Antioch's values:
Dr. Elizabeth Holloway, Professor of Psychology, who comes to Antioch after
her faculty years at the University of Wisconsin -- Madison, and Dr.
Richard Couto, Professor of Leadership, a political scientist who comes
to the program from the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at the
University of Richmond, Virginia.
Members of this interdisciplinary learning community
are drawn together by the chance to engage in the advanced study and
practice of leadership.
There is strong support for both peer and individualized learning.
Given the program's competency-based design, students are awarded credit
for the satisfactory demonstration of learning based on rigorous doctoral-level
standards.
Students and faculty meet quarterly at intensive and
stimulating residencies held at Antioch campuses around the country.
These residencies offer small
seminars, lectures, and elective sessions around the curriculum's focus
on leadership and change, inquiry and research. Residencies also provide
time with advisors and rich interactions with other students and faculty.
At the Summer residency, held in Yellow Springs, a guest panel on higher
education reform featured three university presidents. Another residency
guest was the renowned civil rights leader, Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, who
shared his stories of leading Birmingham's justice movement. The upcoming
Winter residency, to be held at
Antioch Seattle, will feature Mitchell Kapor, founder of Lotus, and
a visionary leader in the high tech field.
New student cohorts enter once a year in Summer. The application deadline
for the next cohort is February 14, 2003.
For more information, please call 937-769-1360 or e-mail
office@phd.antioch.edu. Also, check out the program's website at www.phd.antioch.edu.
