Speakers: Jeanne Bracker White, PsyD Student. Stuart J. Sigman, PhD, Executive Director. Chuck Watterson, PsyD Student

Chuck Watterson: I was someone who at first did not like the idea of going to class online. It was during the pandemic however, and so we had no choice.

Stuart J. Sigman, PhD: COVID comes along and it really expands the market for online education. Throughout that time however, Reiss-Davis Graduate School has been pioneering a combination of online and residential instruction called blended learning.

Jeanne Bracker White: I'm really glad this program has a component of being in person with other fellow students because I look forward to that all month.

Chuck Watterson: Because after being online for three weeks, going into a classroom and sitting with my cohort and feeling the energy and the vibes of the information that we understood and the information we didn't understand and our interaction with it made a huge difference. So I really liked the blended learning.

Jeanne Bracker White: I just love being in person with the professors and with my colleagues. And I think you really form really good bonds and deep connections with the people that are gonna journey with you through your dissertation process.
