Okay mgofriends. I am elated to tell you that yesterday I joined the distinguished group of um alum when I defended my dissertation successfully on central campus in the school of education. Many of you may know the feeling already to have a degree from one of the best universities in the world, but for me, this is amazing. I just wanted to share my joy and love for Michigan with you! Go blue!

Maybe you can use your education in education to educate Brian about how much I need a Hello post on Mo Ways to read on this lovely, but so far incredibly boring Friday.

I graduated from Kent State University in 2005 and really wanted to go to Michigan, but have lived in Ohio all of my life. It would have cost me over $30,000 per year to go to Michigan and that kind of debt after graduation simply wasn't worth it.

I never cease to be amazed at the doors that have opened as a result of my U of M degree.  Now: walk through and make something happen.

Congrats and GO BLUE!

As my MGoGift of congratulations, you have been awarded 500 MGoDoctoralPoints (in lieu of a drink on me or something along these lines)! 

Welcome to the wide, wide world of Michigan alums!

Congrads, now put that phd in education to use and take my order at Zingermans! Sorry, but all of my teacher friends are hating life right now. My buddy teaching at Ypsi high had to reapply for the job he has had for 10 years.

Like everybody else already said. congratulations. That's a hell of an achievement. 

This is relatively minor, but I managed to pass my comps exams for my PhD program today. Maybe I had some good MGoMojo.

By the way, my background is education, and my PhD will be education-related. Can you tell me what your field and project are?

Congrats again.

I am a social studies teacher educator. I work with novice teachers in the field and in the teacher Ed classrooms. Recently got a tenure track faculty position in the Detroit area. Loving life.

Congrats, I'm actually designing an upgraded mechanical system for the School of Education Building right this second, good to know people actually use that building for something.

Congratulations fellow Ph.D.!  It really is an accomplishment when you think about all of the late nights of writing, studying, etc.  

I also defended my dissertation a little less than a year ago and am looking forward to being back in AA to walk next weekend!! Go blue!
