CAPELLA CONNECTION
META
September 25th, 2008 by Mark Larson
Working with your mentor
As a longtime resident of Minneapolis-St. Paul, I have been connected to Capella since its inception in one way or another, finally becoming an employee in early 2006. Since I hold a PhD in adult education, I have been especially aware of Capella’s commitment to employ the best practices of adult learning.
Capella has been a trend setter in many aspects of doctoral study. The mentoring and advising models in Capella’s doctoral program are especially unique. At my alma mater – the University of Minnesota – my advisor was not only the individual who guided me through the processes and procedures but was also my primary academic contact. At Capella, we split that traditional role in two, with the mentor being the primary academic guide for learners once they reach the independent research stage of their programs.
