Doctoral Scholars Institute (DSI)

SUCCEED. MANAGE. LEAD.

The Doctoral Scholars Institute (DSI) is for doctoral students who are conducting research in the areas of leadership, management and organizations.

Leading faculty and scholars will join with students to discuss current research in human services management and organizations; research-to-action collaborations with public and nonprofit organizations; publications and external funding; professional opportunities and more. Participants will engage in discussions about their dissertation research. Post-doctoral fellows are also welcome to apply.

Our discussants include management, organizational, and leadership scholars, researchers, non-profit leaders, and editors from the journal Human Service Organizations: Management, Leadership & Governance.
