The coronavirus can't slow down our amazing doctoral students who are still managing to finish up their dissertations and graduate in May. Now THAT is something to celebrate! So, I am excited to announce our first virtual colloquium via Zoom on Wednesday, April 15 from 12:30-2:00 p.m., where we will get to hear public dissertation presentations from Jacob Sanchez, Cheryl Klimaszewski, and Steve Voorhees.
