Advising. The Case Conference Leader is a student's advisor in the first two years of the program. The Case Conferences have 7 – 9 students in each group. Case Conference Leaders also meet individually with students throughout each year to more closely support their progress in the program. The student's Professional Development Seminar Leader takes over as advisor in the third year, and serves as advisor until students begin working with their Dissertation Chair, who becomes the advisor until graduation.
New Student Liaison Program. This program was developed to make the transition into graduate school a little easier. After applicants are accepted into the program, an entering student is connected to a currently enrolled student to provide a resource for discussing concerns or questions regarding the nuts and bolts of starting graduate school. By sharing their experiences, the New Student Liaisons are able to help entering students with the nuances of surviving and thriving at the Wright Institute. The student contacts are not meant to replace the services of our administration and staff. Questions regarding financial aid, field placement, or the GRE, should still be directed to the appropriate Wright Institute staff person.
The Peer Mentorship Program (PMP) is a collaborative group of first year peers mentored by a second or third year student. The program is intended to provide a structured small group space where students can speak openly about their experiences as students and beginning professionals.
The Field Placement Office staff offers advising on practica and internship application and selection through group meetings with the entire cohort, as well as required individual appointments for planning a student's clinical training.
