Belle Douglas passes the oral defense of her PhD!

 

Congratulations, Belle!

Belle Douglas passed the Oral Defense for her PhD, titled “A Mixed-methods Approach to Understanding Perceptions and Opinions of Affordable Housing in the United States.” She gave an excellent presentation fielding many questions in an open Q&A session with the audience followed by the closed portion with her PhD defense committee.

We enjoyed amazing homemade food and celebratory champagne in a small reception afterwards - a huge shout out to the chefs! We look forward to continuing to have Belle in the group while she wraps up the written dissertation in the spring!


Everyone has a role to play in future solutions so I ask that we all ask ourselves how to build better for everyone and then take the crucial next step of taking some tangible actions
