    “The mentoring I received during my dissertation process was meaningful in several ways. Dr. Ness acted as a guide to show me the way to completion, and as a teacher to help me understand the complexities of the dissertation format. The dissertation process was a very difficult journey on a long and winding road, and Dr. Ness prevented me from getting lost when the darkness descended.” — Dr. Anton Camarota, Northcentral

    “Two things helped me sustain my commitment to completing my dissertation and doctoral degree: passion for my research topic, and an excellent working relationship with my dissertation mentor. Dr. Ness provided essential guidance and feedback throughout the process, but more importantly, his encouragement and unwavering belief in me helped me keep going when the challenges seemed insurmountable.” — Dr. David Williamson, Capella

    "The dissertation journey should never be undertaken alone; luckily for doctoral candidates they don't have to travel alone. No matter how well prepared you are for the dissertation process, having a mentor is essential for dissertation success. The direction I received from Dr. Ness helped me to stay on track and on time in completing my dissertation." — Scott A. Ostrow, Ed.D, Argosy

    "The doctoral process for me was always evolving and changing. The one point of stability I had was when I finally had a dissertation chair/mentor who would support me as well as advise me. Dr. Lonny Ness is that type of mentor. Without his ability and calm demeanor I would not have been able to keep focused on the facts at hand I would not have completed my journey." — Dr. Stephen Paulone, Northcentral

    “Having a good mentor is essential to the successful completion of a dissertation. You may not always agree with the advice they give, but they know and understand how to shepherd you through the process. Don’t rush the dissertation process, it’s a learning experience. Yes frustrating at times, but listen to your mentor. Good mentors will successful guide you through the process, and in the end you will have a great learning experience that you can pass on to future budding academics.” — Dr. Robert Walton, Northcentral

    "When my first assigned mentor opted out after two terms, I thought I had reached the end of the road. However, when I turned to Dr. Ness (Lonny), everything changed for the better. Every act of his mentoring can best be described by Psalm 23. Dr. Lonny gave meaning to my doctoral dream, bringing out the scholarship in me, leading to my second oral defense today. Without mincing words, therefore, I recommend Dissertation 101 to every doctoral student." — Dr. Enwelum Azu Mafiana, Walden

His emphasis on methodology and quality of research makes the long journey very rewarding. — Dr. Shahid Ali, Northcentral

    “Having a mentor to guide the arduous process of a doctorial study is a tremendous benefit by helping to chart the course and navigating the unfamiliar obstacles encountered along the journal. In particular, my doctoral mentor Dr. Ness provided me with invaluable wisdom based on his experience and was a great source of encouragement throughout the process.” — Dr. Steven Powelson, Walden
