The Summer Institute is the premiere annual event for our doctoral programs. At the Summer Institute, Higher Education and Community College Leadership doctoral students learn alongside each other, interact with faculty members, and engage with national thought leaders.
Each Summer Institute features a different guest scholar who engages with students in-class and presents on issues relevant to higher education leaders. There are also a variety of social and professional events that prepare students to successfully complete the coursework and dissertation.

Program Values
Walt Whitman
We have frequently printed the word democracy. Yet, I cannot too often repeat that it is a word the real gist of which still sleeps… notwithstanding the resonance and the many angry tempests out of which its syllables have come from pen or tongue, because that history has yet to be enacted.
