Jenny is working on a dissertation proposal that will apply much of our past work to individuals with physical disabilities.

This summer she received two awards that will go towards her costs (participant compensation). First, was the APAGS Ellin Bloch and Pierre Ritchie Diversity Dissertation Grant, and second was a SPSSI Grant in Aid. Jenny is keeping out of trouble by starting an externship early (at Children’s Hospital), teaching a course, finishing her own coursework, and writing her proposal. Whew.

We are so thrilled that Katie Burns, Laura Gray and Michelle Garvin all successfully defended their dissertations last spring. They will all graduate on 8/31/14 after successfully completing their internships.
