Closing Down

I apologize that I have not been able to post over the last few months. Graduate school is much busier than I imagined. Between reading 100 to 150 pages/week for each of my three classes, research, and writing papers, I do not have enough time to devote to this blog. This is unfortunate, but a reality. If you are interested in any of these topics, I refer you to a collective blog that I, along with other Ph.D. students in my program contribute to. It is of a high quality and I hope it will continue into the future.

With all best wishes,
Erik

Exciting Developments

Hello to any readers left! I apologize for letting more dust accumulate in the blog. I have been busy with many things over the past few weeks. Among the most exciting are a move to Irvine, in the graduate and student family housing at UCI. Why, you might wonder? I am proud to announce that I will be starting a Ph.D. program at UCI in just a month! I will be in the Education area, studying Educational Policy and Social Context. I will be joining the inaugural class of Ph.D. students and am very excited to do this. It has been a goal for a long time and events finally coalesced such that it was possible. I want to thank my wife, Nicole, for being so supportive in this endeavor.

Secondly, as a result of starting the doctoral program, I will be leaving my position at Cal Poly Pomona. I had a good experience in the College of Business Administration (CBA), but I wanted to dedicate myself fully to the Ph.D. I am grateful for the opportunity that the CBA offered me.

I am hopeful that this new endeavor will provide much grist for the mill when it comes to the blog. During the course of my studies, I will be reading and writing extensively on many topics relating to education and hope to share some of them with any readers interested enough to join me on this journey.
