Some students feel overwhelmed by the size or scope of this academic task. Many experience difficulties balancing their competing personal, professional and academic roles. Rather, the goal is to alleviate difficulties regarding the process of completing the dissertation. Support groups meet in the Learning Assistance Service of the Counseling Center, Shoemaker Building.
Groups meet BI-weekly throughout the calendar year.
They are free to all UMCP graduate students who are working on either a master's thesis or a doctoral dissertation.
