Dr. Nicole Camara

June 29th, 2009

As the title suggests it was a very big weekend for Nicole. On friday she had her thesis defense and is now Dr. Nicole Camara. It’s a huge accomplishment for Nicole and represents the culmination of five years of hard work. I and the rest of her family are very proud of her especially since she’s the first person on my side of the family to ever receive a doctorate, the first PhD on the Crnkovich side and the second on the Sens. Nicole gave a wonderful talk explaining what she has done while she was at Hopkins and did such a great job I managed to follow along for more than half of her talk :-) . Here are some pictures from this weekend. Although the weekend got off to a rough start with travel arragnments we had a great weekend hanging out with all of her family.

So I haven’t made a post in a long time. I got behind in what i wanted to post and then there was this huge backlog of stuff I wanted to post about. So i’m just pushing the reset button and am starting fresh again.
