Abstract
In this concluding chapter, two of the book editors are proud to showcase the stories of those tenacious doctoral students who faced challenges and who strategically overcame them to achieve their ultimate prize: conferral of the highest academic award. The book also narrates the story of the passage of time that has passed as generations of people for hundreds of years have struggled, marched determinably and/or thrived along the doctoral journey between then and now. The authors also look to the future and provide guidance in the form of an annotated list of resources for novice researchers, as well as a checklist for conference considerations.
