Dissertation days are my favorite days and today is Amy Richardson Day in @vtenge! Hope to see you in Goodwin 340 at 2pm. DM for a Zoom link. You’ll walk away with a much more nuanced understanding of credit loss for engineering transfer students and ideas for future action.
Congrats Amy Richardson for a successful proposal defense: Credit Loss for Vertical and Lateral Engineering Transfer Students. Amy’s research will explore this critical issue for transfer pathways in important new ways. Thx to comm members @SROD_VT, @WalterLeePhD & Tasha Smith!
Great conversations with a great team. Excited about our department and the direction our program is going. Appreciate being part of this community @vtenge
