For months, both Kaylee and Maureen have undergone the grueling task of preparing for their preliminary examinations. For those of you who do not know, each PhD student must pass a written and oral examination that pushes the boundaries of your knowledge and expertise in your area of graduate study. It can be an intense and long process but helps demonstrate your mastery of a specialized field like veterinary parasitology! Well, I’m happy to share, that both Kaylee and Maureen have successfully passed their preliminary examinations and are officially PhD candidates! Please join us in congratulating both of them in this enormous milestone and for all of their accomplishments thus far in the Verocai Lab. We are very proud of them and we can’t wait to see them grow as future leaders in their respective fields!
