The time between the Fall and Spring semesters at USD is known as Intersession. In the month of January SOLES students have a few options about how to spend their time.\u00a0 Leadership Studies students might elect to take a class. A very popular course is the \u201cLeadership for Change\u201d<\/a> conference taught by Dr. Terri Monroe while other students might use this time to complete their international experience through the Global Center<\/a>. Still others, like myself, might go off and pursue other projects and interests.
\nHere are four goals I have for the intersession period:
\n <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Build up Dissertation Karma:<\/i> I\u2019ll be helping another doctoral student get some inter-rater reliability for their dissertation by coding some interview transcripts.\u00a0 Its great to support a friend in the program plus the research she is doing (the role of \u201cfallback\u201d in adult and leadership development) is fascinating.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \"DaringGreatly_final525\"<\/a>Read a Book for Pleasure:<\/i> Okay, so I might be cheating here a bit because the book I chose to read is \u201cDaring Greatly\u201d<\/i><\/a> by Bren\u00e9 Brown which is technically based on the author\u2019s research. Several SOLES students and faculty got a chance to see Dr. Brown speak at the 2012 International Leadership Association<\/a> conference in Denver, CO this past fall (I didn\u2019t, I\u2019m jealous, so I\u2019m reading her book). You might be familiar with one of her two TED talks<\/a> that have gone viral (if your not, you should be).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Submit an IRB:<\/i> It\u2019s never too late to pilot a study for your dissertation and there is no need to only do research connected to a class.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be doing a series of interviews this spring to gather data and refine my ideas for a dissertation proposal. With luck it will turn into a paper or conference proposal. Look for updates in a future blog post.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \"Liam<\/a>Time with the Boys:<\/i> Last January my twin boys were born and I\u2019m looking forward to taking more time off to spend with them. \u00a0It has not been easy being a parent and doctoral student in addition to working fulltime. Fortunately, I have benefited from great faculty who respect the multiple commitments that I honor and have given great advice about how to manage it all.\u00a0\u00a0 So January will be mostly dedicated to being a dad (ohh, and planning a killer One Year old birthday party).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           
          \nWhat will you spend the intersession doing? Leave a comment.
