LLC is pleased to announce that Montia Gardner, of
Cohort 19, successfully and skillfully presented her dissertation
research proposal to her committee on March 13, 2020. She was the first LLC student to virtually meet her committee on-line for this purpose.
Her project is titled, "The Capital Concept: The Role of Social Capital in Pursuit of Educational Advancement." After Montia's presentation, she had a substantive
discussion with the committee about the next stages of her work. Her
committee agreed that her project is worthy of doctoral research and
helped her consider some key issues as she moves forward into the
research and writing.
