Abstract	The doctorate in educational leadership at XYZ University prepares leaders to make positive changes in their communities and organizations. An important aspect of the program requires students to complete a Dissertation in Practice related to a problem identified within their educational setting. Students begin work on the dissertation during their first semester and solidify the focus during the second semester, when they are matched with a chairperson. This type of academic endeavor can lead to feelings related to imposter syndrome, including anxiety and fearfulness related to their academic abilities. Faculty at XYZ University have implemented an innovative active learning experience, a poster presentation and gallery walk, to mitigate imposter syndrome and foster initial relationships between students and their dissertation chairperson. In a survey of participants, students confirmed that the gallery walk experience decreased feelings related to imposter syndrome and left them feeling supported and confident in their capabilities to complete a dissertation.
