Why do you believe the Syracuse University School of Information Studies is the best place to pursue this inquiry?
B) What do you bring, and look for in your peers, as a member of a cohort-based thesis-writing enterprise? (We are not looking for teamwork in the typical military or business sense here, but you most definitely will need to help, and be helped by, your classmates to achieve what you are signing up for.) Also, tell us something about your personal grit and determination, traits that are essential for any individual seeking a doctorate via remote learning while maintaining personal and professional responsibilities.
