Staff at Woodhill Park are offering a one day workshop for budding thesis writers.  The workshop will be held on Friday February 19th at the Woodhill Park Research Retreat in Waimauku.  The course is restricted to ten people although appointed supervisors may attend with their thesis candidate.

A feature of the day will be participation in a panel discussion at the end of the day by a number of people who have successfully completed their doctorates.  "It's important to hear words of wisdom from have those who have survived the experience and who have achieved a successful outcome" said Dr. Jens Hansen who will be facilitating the workshop.   

Dr Hansen pointed out that the scholastic community at Woodhill has enjoyed considerable success of late.  "Yesterday, I was told that Simon Martin is now able to be thought of 'Doc Martin' and just this afternoon, less than 24 hours later, Philip Harkness told me that he is now able to be thought of as 'Doctor Phil'.  They've each been told about their successful doctorates and within a 24 hour time-frame.  That's amazing and we're over the moon on their behalf."

Dr Hansen concluded that success such as that validates the very existance of the Woodhill Park Research Retreat and spurs staff into facilitating courses and workshops such as the one being held on Friday the nineteenth of February. » Read More
