Dear Doctoral students enrolled in Larry Spears’ class,
Larry Spears has had a recurring illness come up and his doctors have disallowed him traveling at this time.
He sends his deepest regard to you, and apologies that he will be unable to make it at this time for the class he had planned to teach next Thursday, for the reception planned for 5pm that day, and for the leadership research symposium he had planned to attend on the weekend. Thank you for your care and understanding.
Sincerely,
Shann

The Leadership Studies Student Research Symposium is coming soon! On March 22-23, we will aim to surface and explore emerging questions and/or completed research currently occupying leadership studies undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students at Gonzaga. The conference is intended to stimulate dialogue and critical reflection of the multiple perspectives of our students, our programs and the complexity of the field of leadership studies. The conference is also intended to highlight the theory and practice of leadership studies research methodologies currently alive in our programs.
Call for Proposals
We will continue to accept proposals until March 15. Since the scope of the Symposium is to explore the leadership research students are conducting or interested in, we are hoping this will be a friendly, gentle experience for all. Click here for more info.
Registration
This Symposium is free, open to all, and includes meals, but we do ask you to register, even if you plan to attend just one day. Register here!

Due to DPLS events that conflict with Journal Club’s regular meeting times, we have decided to conclude Journal Club until the Summer 2013 term begins. We will notify students of the Summer dates and times. Until then, feel free to browse presentation archives or Facebook or our web page.
DPLS would like to communicate to and update all students about the forthcoming Leadership Studies Student Research Symposium.
First, the call for proposals has been extended to March 15. If you are interested in presenting, please contact Chris Francovich: francovich@gonzaga.edu. (From this point forward, JoAnn Barbour will be out of town.)
Second, we would like to encourage all students – especially those who are nowhere close to finishing their dissertation – to consider proposing a conceptual presentation. Students who want to discuss a research design are encouraged to apply to this strand. The research is in its inception and one who submits to this strand has an emerging idea, conceptualization, or design to discuss. Perhaps guiding questions or working hypotheses might be explored or discussed. For further details on this and all other types of presentations, click here.
Third, we would like to inform you of an updated Symposium schedule. Please note that the DPLS faculty has agreed to begin classes at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 22:
Friday, March 22
3-5:30 p.m. – Presentations, Tilford 405 & Jepson Hall
5:30-6:30 p.m. – Hors d’oeuvres Reception (5:30-6 p.m.) with Speaker (6-6:30 p.m.), Cataldo Hall
