REFLECTIVE ESSAY INSTRUCTIONS
Using Tinto’s (1975, 1993) concepts of academic integration and social integration as the organizational and conceptual framework for your discussion, reflect on what you learned in this course and how this course has begun to foster your academic and social integration into your doctoral program at Liberty University. Articulate your plans for continued academic and social integration as you progress as an autonomous learner through coursework and then transition into a self-directed learner in the dissertation stage. Reflect on what student support services you may choose to utilize in your journey and how you will develop community and supportive relationships with peers along the way. Conclude your reflection by articulating how you will be a steward in the profession through the skills, knowledge, and opportunities associated with the attainment of a doctoral degree.

The reflection must be 500–750 words, align with current APA formatting and include a minimum of 5 sources.
