College of Education to host virtual scholar series

Augusta University’s College of Education is offering a new opportunity for its students.

The Doctor of Education in Educational Innovation and Education Specialist in Advanced Studies programs, in partnership with the AU Writing Project, will host a virtual scholar series in the fall for graduate students. This series will allow students and faculty to interact with scholars in the field, talk to them about the field of study, discuss their works, ask questions and connect the conversation to their research and dissertation work.

This is the first time the College of Education will offer this opportunity. Although these are education researchers, all students are welcome.
