The Division Welcomes 3 New Doctors To The Team

Is There A Doctor In The House?

The Division of Student Affairs is widely known for its extremely talented staff members. Through the Board of Regents TAP program, employees are able to continue their education while working for the university. Within the Division of Student Affairs alone there are many employees taking classes days, nights and weekends in pursuit of fulfilling a personal goal. These goals range anywhere from the desire to learn a second language to the dream of one day becoming a doctor.

Matthew Robison and Pamela Anthony began pursuing their Ph.D.s in Educational Policy Studies at Georgia State University in 2006 followed shortly by Marilyn De LaRoche who began working towards her Ed.D. in Higher Education Management  from the University of Georgia.

All three candidates worked diligently to complete their studies while continuing to work full-time for Georgia State University in their current positions as Director of Housing (De LaRoche) and Assistant Deans (Anthony and Robison).

After many years of hard work, all three candidates successfully defended their dissertations within a 10-day period in November of 2011 welcoming three new doctors to the staff of the Division of Student Affairs.

These recent successes are a testament to what one can accomplish with hard work and perseverance. We look forward to the upcoming achievements of the numerous capable staff within the Division of Student Affairs.
