Graduate Testimonials and Dissertations

"The Leadership Studies Program is life-changing and impactful. It has enhanced my life in a myriad of ways. I wasn’t sure I would be able to work full-time and go to school while also having a family. The program structure allowed me to balance work/family/school and continue my education. I had pursued my dream. I was blessed to enjoy supportive professors, make incredible memories and develop life-long friendships. The program truly created opportunity for me to put leadership into action."

 - Andrea Depinet, Ed.D., '12, Assistant Vice President, Campus Operations, Bowling Green State University

"The real challenges in organizations are found in getting people engaged and bridging leaders to adapt to a constantly changing environment. I honor my professors, colleagues and cohort who helped to guide me through an extraordinary leadership and learning experience. My journey at BGSU prepared me well for my role in a world-class health care organization."

- Debra Ball, Ed.D., '14, Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, Aspirus Health

"I use what I learned in the Leadership Studies doctoral program in my personal and professional life on a daily basis. It has given me the skills to conduct research which has resulted most recently in the publication of my first co-edited monograph. More importantly, it has made me a more confident leader and supervisor. I feel more equipped to assess situations and to discern how best to achieve change. The networks I created along this educational journey have also been invaluable."

- Colleen Boff, Ed.D., '15, Head Librarian, Curriculum Resource Center, Bowling Green State University
