09/07/2026

๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’› TODAY IS THE DAYโ€”WELCOME TO FALL 2026!

The wait is over! Today marks the first day of the Fall 2026 semester for the Wilkes University Ed.D. program! The semester runs September 7 โ€“ November 29.

To our returning doctoral studentsโ€”welcome back! And to those beginning their Wilkes Ed.D. journeyโ€”welcome to where leaders gather. ๐ŸŒŽ You are part of a global community of scholar-practitioners who learn with and from one another while connecting scholarship, leadership, and practice.

๐Ÿ’ป Your first step today: Sign into the D2L online learning environment and get started!

Explore your courses, review the expectations and upcoming assignments, introduce yourself, and begin engaging with your learning communities. Your presence matters. The conversations, perspectives, questions, and experiences each of you brings are what make our learning community stronger.

As the semester gets underway, remember that you are never navigating this journey alone. Reach out to your mentor, Pam, or Marcia with questions about the program, and beginning today, connect directly with your teaching faculty with course-specific questions. We are here to support you throughout the journey.

This semester, lean into the learning. Ask the difficult questions. Engage with one another. Support one another. Embrace the moments that stretch you. Most importantly, remember that the doctoral journey is about more than earning a degreeโ€”it is about continuing to discover the leader and scholar-practitioner you are becoming.

Wherever in the world you are logging in from today, we are excited to begin another semester together! ๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŽ“

Hereโ€™s to a Fall 2026 filled with learning, belonging, connection, leadership, and transformation.

Welcome to the semester, Wilkes Ed.D.! Sign in. Connect. Engage. Letโ€™s get started! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›
