Joelle Davis Carter said… - Hi Sister Sherry! Well the proposal hearing went great-I passed! I just finished data collection at Savannah State University so I have aggressively writing now. Today I was worked on my findings section (tough) but I spent about 3 hours on it. The plan now is to share a draft of chapters 1-4 with my advisor next week, get the ok to forward to the committee. Ultimately, I am planning for a defense date NO LATER than February 2010. My fan club thinks I can do it by December 09 but I am not sure. How are you my friend?

My name is Fursey Gotuaco. I used to teach Theatre for 15 years. My wife finished her PhD in Arts Education. I have two questions for you:
1) What did you do at North Lake and how did you integrate strengths?
2) What's your PhD in Arts Advocacy about?
I will pass your name along to my wife - or you can contact her yourself - she's a member ning.
