Of course, I am sure you already guessed my pimp name...

According to http://www.pimpify.name/, my pimp, street name is:

Dark L. Superfly. But, I am sure you guessed this.

As the great James Brown once sang, "Watch me now!"

Congratulations, Dr. Baker...

Rose Baker, my collaborator on many projects, speeches, and publications, today completed successfully a final oral examination for the PhD degree at Penn State.

 

I was not on her doctoral examining committee. Rather, I acted as cheerleader and back-up driver for her daughter's dance lesson.

Tobin passed the final oral examination for the PhD degree...

My advisee, Tobin Lopes, today passed his final oral examination for the PhD degree at Penn State:

-- Tobin, his wife, and his doctoral committee --
His thesis: Differences in Dimensions of Career Motivation Between International and Domestic Graduate Students by Age.

Congratulations, Tobin! A great job on your thesis and in your doctoral program. I am proud of you!

Whew! No coffee today. Too busy. Must stock up.
