Re-envisioning eNews

Date: December 6, 2001
Subject:  Re-envisioning the Ph.D. NEW Website Design!

This is an exciting time in doctoral education.  Events in and across many sectors are taking place and building momentum in doctoral transformation, including newly released studies, new doctoral initiatives, and new available resources.  The Re-envisioning website is now receiving in excess of 30,000 hits a month, and steadily increasing.  To more effectively spread the word on the many efforts underway, we have redesigned the Re-envisioning the Ph.D. website at: www.grad.washington.edu/envision to include the latest available information in doctoral education related to:

--News and Updates (recent publications, media coverage, and events)
--Re-envisioning Project Resources (publications from Re-envisioning research,
   our 2000 Conference, Ph.D. career resources, and stakeholder requests)
--National/International Resources (national/international research, projects, and
   initiatives addressing doctoral education)
--Promising Practices (hundreds of innovative practices and resources in doctoral
   education) from around the country and abroad.

We’ve also added a GOOGLE search capacity for the entire website at: http://www.grad.washington.edu/envision/about/search.html.

We’d like to invite you to take a moment and peruse our website and give us some feedback/comments/concerns at: envision@u.washington.edu.  If you wish to be removed from our email list you may also contact us at this address.  You can submit your organization’s innovative doctoral Promising Practice at: http://www.grad.washington.edu/envision/practices/promprac_submit.html or forward this email to any interested colleagues, who may enroll on our email list at: http://www.grad.washington.edu/envision/about/mailinglist.html.  Thank you for your valuable contributions and participation as we come together to re-envision the Ph.D. to meet the societal needs of the 21^st Century.

I wish for all of you who produce, fund, and hire Ph.D.s, as well as doctoral students themselves, a wonderful holiday season.  Do let us know how we can serve you and others involved in transforming the doctoral experience.
