Operation Dissertation Acceleration (ODA) is an intensive writing retreat for doctoral students who need or want to set aside a serious block of time to make a significant push toward the next step in their dissertation.
The retreat is designed for students who:
A) Have research question(s) but have not been able to complete chapters 1, 2, and 3 (the proposal); or
B) Have defended their proposal and collected data, but have not completed chapters 4 and 5.
Retreat participants will be selected and assigned to work directly with a DSC writing advisor. For the Orange County ODA April 29 – May 1, the ratio of advisor to students will be 1-6, which means students will have significant support and interaction on their project. In addition, participants will exchange papers and support each other through peer-to-peer feedback. To attend, download the application below and submit it by Monday, April 4.
