If Students Were Dogs...By: Dr. G

I figured I’d have a little fun today and relate some common academic personalities to the personas of our favorite domesticated pets!

Purpose of this Blog

So what is "Educate the SWAG?"  Educate the SWAG is about embracing your own pop culture and taking that culture higher through research and higher education.

This site is divided into three primary sections: 1) Educate the SWAG, 2) The Education Blueprint, and 3) Good Vibes.

Educate the SWAG will discuss socially relevant topics with higher education research perspective and commentary.

The Education Blueprint will discuss my perceptions of the education space and my experiences from High School to the Doctoral Degree. Even if you are only curious about the day-to-day experiences of graduate students, check out The Education Blueprint!

Good Vibes is your quick getaway from all this science and serious talk. There you will find some special guest posts that cover all topics not science! You will be surprised...

Enjoy the blog, comment often to give me feedback so that I can continue to improve the experience and discussion for all, and embrace the spirit of pop culture and the educational tools within! ​
