LauraKane

Hey folks!

My name is Laura Kane and I have been a PhD student in the Higher Education Administration program since Summer 2010. Finally arriving at Dissertation Prep is very exciting! I am thankful for the cohort model program as I have been able to find an extremely supportive network of colleagues and friends.

I currently work at Ashland University as the Director of Greek Life & Student Leadership. I 've stumbled across quite a few research interests along this path, but am most recently focused on student rejection from social groups (formalized such as student organizations, teams, etc.) and the impact rejection can have on student retention. This is an area I hope to dive in to more in my dissertation.
