1 "There is no program I found that focused on improving my capacity and understanding while equally improving the way I impact others around me. This was the program for me from start to finish. Jason Holt, Ed.D. Ed.D. Educational Innovation Augusta University College of Education My doctoral experience at Augusta University was truly a personal quest to explore my own thoughts, collaborate with others, learn from scholars, and investigate educational situations and how they are impacted by our world. I was taught how to use tools that would allow me to access potential answers for questions like why, how, what, who, where, and when. Most importantly, I discovered along the way that being intelligent was not nearly as important as having perseverance and grit. Karen Warren, Ed.D.
