I had the opportunity to complete my Mock Proposal Defense with Scholar Start today, and I am so grateful for the experience. The panel—Dr. Howard, Dr. Morris, Dr. Baker, and Dr. Walton—offered thoughtful, constructive feedback that gave me new insight and helped me feel much more confident heading into my official proposal defense.
Scholar Start creates a supportive and affirming space that every doctoral student needs. This program is such a valuable resource during one of the most challenging parts of the doctoral journey. I’m thankful beyond words and truly can’t recommend it enough.
I’m already looking forward to scheduling my Mock Dissertation Defense with them next year!

Working with Ms. Brandi Howard was an enlightening experience. She taught me the importance of balance in a classroom of "littles." Despite my middle school focus, I ended up teaching first grade. Thanks to Ms. Howard's mentorship, I knew how to approach this challenge. I learned that understanding students' learning styles allows you to exceed curriculum expectations. Our students, eager to learn, thrived on a balance of structured learning and play. When I took over my own first-grade class, my students surpassed expectations, thanks to the valuable lessons from Ms. Howard.
