PhD

KU graduated 400 doctoral candidates last weekend including JoLee and three of her classmates. The hooding ceremony was a proud moment, concluding seven years of research and writing. Her committee chair, Dr Eldridge, presented the hood. Afterward, we went to his house for a party, where he said, "If it takes a village to raise a child then it takes a universe to graduate a scholar." We know that JoLee's success was made possible by all the friends and family who supported her through these years in Kansas. I want to say to all, in whole-hearted sincerity, thank you!
