Location and Venue
Walden University will be hosting a 4–day Ph.D. residency in St. Charles, IL in the Chicago area. During this 4-day residency, students will participate in academic sessions (Milestone Seminars, skill sessions, and special topic sessions), have access to faculty and staff members for advising sessions, and have an opportunity to interact with other Ph.D. students from Walden University for professional and academic networking.
Take advantage of the great opportunities offered at this residency to achieve the residency's goals of skill building, socialization, scholarship, and social change advocacy. The Pheasant Run Resort offers a variety of venues, both on-site and within walking distance, for dinner and socialization, including two theaters featuring productions by Chicago's acclaimed Noble Fool Theatricals, Zanies Comedy Club, and several restaurants and lounges. This venue, located on 250 beautiful rolling acres in historic St. Charles, includes golf courses, spa, and children's activities. This is the perfect location for a residency with family and significant others!
Due to low registration numbers, Walden University and the Pheasant Run Resort will not be offering Kids Klub at the Chicago-area Residency. If you do plan to bring your children with you to this residency venue, please bring someone to care for them and find alternate activties for them during residency hours.
