Congratulations to Dr. Kate Akers and Dr. Jarrod Tippets on successfully defending their dissertations last week!
And Kudos to Dr. Jim Cousins on his new faculty position at Western Michigan University. Dr. Thelin writes:
"I am pleased to report that Jim Cousins (who received his PhD in Higher Education in December) has accepted a new appointment -- tenure-track faculty member and Director of Undergraduate Studies" for the Department
of History at Western Michigan University.
Jim entered our PhD program with an MA in History from UK and professional experience as an academic advisor for Arts & Sciences and, during the past year, as a grants specialist with the UKRF.
Jim's PhD dissertation dealt with original archival research that has prompted a re-thinking of the character of Transylvania University during its heroic, famous period of the early 19th century."
Well done everyone...and more kudos to come as we enter the exam season!
