I was able to attend my Aunt Jean's dissertation defense today. She did amazingly well, and I'm interested in reading through her research (not just the last chapter, but all of it!). She focused on a qualitative study of the Arkansas Non-traditional Licensure Program and several of its deficiencies. Here are a few photos from the event and a short video of part of the presentation. Congratulations Aunt Jean!
Dr. Lucas, Dr. Biggs, and Dr. Hinton all sat in on the presentation, and Dr. Nafukho joined us by phone.
Jami ran by Rick's this morning and got goodies.
Lots of goodies. 
Jean started her presentation. 
She did a great job presenting. 
Then the questions started.
And the doctors in the room discussed parts of Jean's mammoth dissertation.
Lots of discussion.
And then we waited.
But not very long. Dr. Biggs opened the door and asked Dr. Parker to come back into the room. Yeah! You're now a graduate of the University of Arkansas! Welcome to the club...
And yes, I took this picture!
