D-Day: It's [almost] here...
Hi All!
As you have all been so supportive of me and my work over the past few years, I wanted to formally invite you to my dissertation defense, this May 6th, 10am EST. The defense can be accessed at https://princeton.zoom.us/s/98853896175 starting around 9:50am the day of. Zoom participation will be restricted to view-only, with microphones required to remain off - even so, your presence and support will still, very much, be felt. This portion will be closed out after the Q and A session, as the remainder of the procedure takes place privately.
I suspect the event will take approximately 1.5 hours – I will provide a presentation of my project, followed by questions from my dissertation committee. Once those questions are exhausted, the “general public” present will be able to ask questions as well (although the fewer questions, the quicker we finish!). We will then be ushered out of the room, during which time the committee will privately deliberate. After that, I will, insha'Allah, be a doctor.
Thank you all for being with me throughout this journey, and stay tuned, this is only the beginning!
Emily
