DCL student retreat
The Retreat is an excellent opportunity for doctoral students and faculty to come together and discuss issues of common interest. This year, the Retreat will focus on skills that are useful to every DCL student, regardless of how advanced you are in the program.
Thanks to the support of the Graduate Programs Office and the Faculty, the Retreat will have professors sharing their insights on issues ranging from publishing your dissertation to different approaches to legal research.
And, of course, this is an excellent opportunity to spend a day with your fellow DCL colleagues.
There will be a reception the evening prior.
