Director of General Studies

I just wanted to take this time to thank all the people who have helped me get to the culmination of my educational career. This is a very proud time of my life and I could not have done it without the support shown from my teachers, friends, and family. First of all, I want to extend a very grateful thank you to the committee members of my thesis. Dr. Kate LeVering and Dr. Dennis Cogan provided me with superior knowledge that was beneficial in helping me create the end product. Both were so kind to take time out of their already busy schedules to help me obtain my goal. I also want to thank Dr. Michael Schoenecke for his continuous dedication to the General Studies degree program. I am so thankful for his sincerity and kindness, as well as the stem discipline he has taught me. I want to thank all of my friends who have been so understanding and encouraging during the last couple of weeks before graduation. I especially want to thank Brock for being my emotional backbone and telling me get to work when I didn't want to. Last, I want to thank my parents for all their emotional and financial support. Dad, thank you for being so interested in my thesis subject and Mom, thanks for being there when things get too hectic. 1 appreciate everyone's concern in my educational welfare and for pushing me until the end. Thank you again
