See your intensive retreat registration confirmation email for detailed information about What to Bring to the retreat.

Suggestions include:

1. Laptop (fully charged).
2. Complete the Emergency Contact Information form prior to arrival at the retreat. Watch your Walden email for a link to complete this form approximately one week prior to the retreat start date.
3. Dress as you would for professional conferences and other professional meetings; business casual is strongly encouraged. Please be aware that room temperatures in meeting rooms at residency venues may vary; therefore, we suggest dressing in layers to allow maximum flexibility in adjusting to the room temperatures.
4. You may pack non-perishable food items or visit a local grocery or convenience store upon arrival to reduce meal expenses. You may also check with the host hotel to see if they can provide a refrigerator and/or a microwave oven in your sleeping room (if available, additional fees and taxes may be billed to your sleeping room). If you choose to dine in the residency venue establishments and/or select nearby, non-fast-food options, you should budget approximately $15-$25 (plus tax and tip) per meal.
5. For students completing Residency 4 requirement only:
   • All recent copies of your prospectus or proposal.
   • Powerpoint presentation or poster providing an overview of your dissertation research which will be shared with attendees.
   • A list of questions you would like to have answered.
