Location and Venue
The Lansdowne, VA Residency will be held April 16-20, 2008 at the National Conference Center. Comfortably nestled on 110 acres of private land, the National Conference Center (NCC) is about 30 minutes from Washington D.C. and only 12 miles from the Washington-Dulles Airport. The NCC hosts what has become one of the most popular Academic Residency locations among Walden students. Take advantage of the great opportunities to achieve the residency's goals of skill building, socialization, scholarship, and social change advocacy. Also at this residency, students will have a chance to meet and interact with students pursuing an Ed.D. degree at Walden University.
This architecturally unique facility offers comfortable accommodations and convenient meeting rooms. Students and faculty alike dine in the all-you-can-eat buffets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. During the midmorning and afternoon, everyone gathers around the convenient break-stations for coffee, tea, juice, and snacks. The Black Olive, located on-site, offers an evening venue for socializing and fun. The NCC, with its all-inclusive environment, provides the great opportunity for students to network with colleagues, faculty, and staff.

As part of the room block, you'll also enjoy amenities such as high-speed Internet access at no additional cost.
