They socialize at a dinner, observe a live dissertation defense, and explore their dissertation ideas in one-on-one sessions with faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s terrific collaboration between the students and the faculty.\u201d <em>-Dr. Amy Danley<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI had been struggling with my research questions and my propositions.

I feel very supported on my DBA journey,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residencies are conducted several times a year. In October\u2019s cohort, students came from as far afield as Florida.
