About Us

ETAP DocS is the official student organization for doctoral students in the Department of Educational Theory and Practice at the University at Albany.

Our vision: To be an organization that is led by the needs, interests, and efforts of our ETAP Docs student community, that ensures all students have access to ETAP Docs’ resources and services whether physically, virtually, synchronously, and asynchronously, and that collectively develops and communicates research across ETAP Docs, ETAP Department, UAlbany, our local communities, and beyond. 

What we do:

We deliver a variety of programs, workshops, and social events that help our members: 1. Navigate the Ph.D. experience and program requirements2. Develop skills and knowledge necessary to conduct high-quality research, and 3. Build personal and professional relationships in the university and beyond.

The three pillars of ETAP DocS are:
1. Milestones.
2. Research.
3. Community building.
