October 2nd, 2020, TIE lab student Zhiyang (George) successfully completed the oral defense for the Ph.D. comprehensive exam. There were some great discussions between Zhiyang and the committee members: Dr. Shane Sweet, Dr. Gordon Bloom, and Dr. Aliki Thomas.
Zhiyang has increased his knowledge in the topics on disability models, theories of mentorship, and knowledge translation. We believe that he will keep improving his knowledge and skills and make more contributions to the TIE lab.
