The first Dissertation Boot Camp cohort.

For doctoral students deep in the often-isolating work of dissertation writing, the process can feel overwhelming and seemingly endless. The newly created Dissertation Boot Camp at Rutgers University–Camden’s Graduate School is designed to address that challenge by offering doctoral candidates something rare: time, structure, and a sense of shared purpose.

Adayna Wallace, a sophomore visual arts major at Rutgers-Camden, turned her pandemic hobby of crocheting into a passion project. People often stop her on campus to ask about her woven work, which has grown into an entire collection with different styles and stitches. The first-generation student, who balances a full arts course load with an on-campus job, clubs, and a new role as an RA, plans to develop a club for crocheters at the university.
