The 32-member cohort includes a wide range of educational practitioners from school superintendents, university leaders, college and university teaching faculty, building and district-level administrators, and highly experienced classroom teachers.<\/p><p>Incoming doctoral students are focused on the opportunities ahead. Christopher Cross, manager of the emerging Office of Multicultural Student Engagement at St. Charles Community College in St. Louis, MO, applied to the program because he \u201cwants to be able to engage, explore, and learn more about rural and diverse leadership in higher education.

This program aligned with my personal values and professional experience, and I know the knowledge I gain will allow me to help make a real and lasting difference in the communities I serve.\u201d<\/p><p>The curriculum emphasizing the unique aspects of rural education caught the attention of Vermont\u2019s Ashley Creighton, a social and emotional learning coach in the Northeast Kingdom, a rural area of the state. Upon learning about the program, she was \u201cexcited about the program description and how it was closely tied to working in a very rural state like Vermont that struggles with supporting its students and teachers because of the limited access to resources. In addition, I was really drawn to the course structure and felt that it would build in a way that will help me be successful in my dissertation and my personal growth as an educator.\u201d<\/p><p>The fully online program meets the needs of working adults juggling many aspects of life simultaneously. Creighton appreciated \u201cthat I was not required to attend any length of residency on campus because being a single mom of two young children, working full-time, and living far away, that would have been exceptionally difficult for me.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-df43153 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"df43153\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-39f0002\" data-id=\"39f0002\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-8874e8d elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"8874e8d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInRight&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3bc438f\" data-id=\"3bc438f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f221950 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f221950\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&#8220;Being able to reach out and use the knowledge of some of the brightest people in the industry is incredible.

In May 2020, amid the pandemic and during the most uncertain semester in higher education\u2019s recent history, HLC granted SAU approval to begin the program.<\/p><p>\u201cIn the challenging educational climate we were facing, the approval news brought enormous relief and a sense of excitement to the College of Education,\u201d reflects Dr. Kim Bloss, SAU&#8217;s dually serving Dean of the College of Education and Dean of Graduate Studies. \u201cUpon receiving this good news, we knew there was a lot to do in just over one year to prepare for the new program in the Fall of 2021, but here we are.

The program uses a multi-step, holistic review process to select admitted students. Our program admission committee worked diligently and compassionately to evaluate every applicant very closely. In addition, the process honored the students\u2019 efforts in applying for such a competitive admission protocol where program capacity limited first-year enrollment to only around 30 students.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e245e60 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e245e60\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8df2e89\" data-id=\"8df2e89\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-a6d50d5 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"a6d50d5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-47245bc\" data-id=\"47245bc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06328af elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"06328af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"847\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/edd\/files\/2021\/06\/Dr-Kim-Bloss-SP18-847x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1044\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/edd\/files\/2021\/06\/Dr-Kim-Bloss-SP18-847x1024.jpg 847w, https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/edd\/files\/2021\/06\/Dr-Kim-Bloss-SP18-248x300.jpg 248w, https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/edd\/files\/2021\/06\/Dr-Kim-Bloss-SP18-768x928.jpg 768w, https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/edd\/files\/2021\/06\/Dr-Kim-Bloss-SP18-1271x1536.jpg 1271w, https:\/\/web.saumag.edu\/edd\/files\/2021\/06\/Dr-Kim-Bloss-SP18-scaled.jpg 1695w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 847px) 100vw, 847px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Dr. Kim Bloss<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-2f1e099\" data-id=\"2f1e099\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2b98bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b2b98bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&#8220;To best serve our doctoral students, the program needs to remain small, focusing on the delivery of the highest quality content in a caring, online environment.

Jeff Haynes, a teacher and coach at Lakeside School District in Hot Springs, captures this sense of anticipation.

Thank you, SAU, for choosing me for this honor of being in the first cohort at Southern Arkansas University. Go Muleriders!\u201d<\/p><p>The intentional selection process resulted in a broadly diverse cohort whose members serve tens of thousands of students in Arkansas and beyond. \u201cOne commitment the program faculty shares is the belief that our students should reflect our constituency, the students and families in rural communities and diverse learning settings from pre-K throughout the educational continuum,\u201d said Katherine Berry. \u201cAfter our very first pass implementing the holistic review process, this exact cohort resulted. They have all the qualities we are looking for \u2013 gender, racial, geographic, professional, and experiential diversity. They serve in small, large, public, charter, face-to-face, and virtual schools. They serve two-year and four-year colleges, both in systems and stand-alone institutions. They connect in meaningful ways to rural and\/or diverse educational leadership through long, seasoned careers. Together, they are a rich community of learners, and together, we will learn from one another in this exciting program,\u201d she continued.<\/p><p>\u201cThis cohort is remarkable in many ways. It is truly a historic first for SAU!&#8221; shared Dr. Trey Berry, SAU\u2019s president. \u201cWhen crafting a new academic program in today&#8217;s competitive online marketplace, you just don\u2019t always know what to expect. Certainly, we knew there was a need, but we are very excited about the positive response to this program. Our hunch and research are confirmed; the region, the nation even, needs a program emphasizing rural and diverse educational leadership. We are enormously pleased to offer our program to students everywhere,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>The application for admission for the second cohort which will begin in the Fall of 2022 opens on July 1, 2021, with all application materials due on February 1, 2022. The next cohort will be of a similar size, around 30 students, but future cohorts after that are likely to be only 15-20 students. \u201cTo best serve our doctoral students, the program needs to remain small, focusing on the delivery of the highest quality content in a caring, online environment.
