Randolph educator Sumit Minhas successfully defended her dissertation and will receive her doctorate from the College of Saint Elizabeth in May.

MORRISTOWN, NJ (04/15/2011)(readMedia)-- Randolph educator Sumit Minhas, a resident of Montclair, N.J., has successfully defended her dissertation at the College of Saint Elizabeth (CSE), 2 Convent Road, Morristown, N.J., to earn her doctorate in educational leadership. Minhas' dissertation is entitled, The Senior Slump: Uncovering the Paradoxical State of the High School Senior Year. She is employed as a high school social studies teacher in Randolph, N.J.

"My experience in the Ed.D. program at the College of Saint Elizabeth has been quite fulfilling," says Minhas. "Throughout the program, the level of professionalism and knowledge extended by the faculty at CSE was truly gratifying. The program basis of servant leadership has continued to serve as a guiding principle throughout my professional career."

Minhas has more than 10 years of teaching experience. She holds a bachelor's degree in secondary education from The Pennsylvania State University and a master's degree in educational leadership from Montclair State University.

The doctoral program at CSE, which is dedicated to preparing leaders who are committed to social justice and ethical practice, began in August 2007. "Integrated into all course work and learning activities are the central values and beliefs necessary for school leaders to function as morally purposeful stewards for their school communities," states Dr. John Crews, Ed.D., CSE educational leadership program chair. "This philosophy of servant leadership represents a major shift from the traditional paradigm of school leaders as managers of resources, which is so prevalent in today's practices."

Sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, Convent Station, New Jersey, the College of Saint Elizabeth enrolls more than 2,100 full- and part-time students in more than 25 undergraduate, 10 graduate and one doctoral degree programs.
