Abstract
n this article, we present a dual autoethnography tracing our pathways from the Student Development Administration (SDA) program at Seattle University to our current doctoral programs focused on higher education. By weaving our two voices, we illuminate commonalities and differences in pursuing doctoral education, using our shared experiences in the SDA program. Connecting our narratives to the broader phenomenon of how student affairs preparation programs link to doctoral education, we conclude with implications for both students considering a doctorate degree as well as faculty and staff working with a student affairs preparation program.
