The DRSA is a huge fan of “Dance Your PhD”. We have been following the competition since when we first heard of it back in the fall of 2008.

Dance Your PhD is another example of how to teach using different learning models and methods. Experiential learning and blended learning are the two methods used by the DRSA. The founder, John Bohannon recently gave a TED talk on his method – dance.

Get a coffee, sit down, and take 11 minutes to watch. It is well worth the time.

You will be notified by Tuesday of next week as soon as we have processed your application. We apologize for this delay. If you have recently sent in an application and do not hear from us by next Wednesday, please feel free to contact the office at 613-584-4541 or by emailing our Program Director, Danielle Martin at [email protected].

Again, we apologize for the delay in processing.

The DRSA is saddened to learn of the passing of former DRSA Res/Rec Supervisor (2004) Krista Johnson. Our thoughts remain with her family through this difficult time.
