Reflections from Former Students

 

Professor Alison Cook, Utah State University

PhD 2004

"The faculty-student relations at Krannert are amazing.  During my doctoral program, I regularly interacted with the brightest minds in my field.  Yes, the intellectual demands are challenging, but I graduated knowing that I had the foundation and training necessary for success in academia."

 

Professor Gary A. Ballinger, University of Virginia

PhD 2004

"What I liked about Purdue's program was that when I left, I knew how to be a college professor from Day One.  Purdue's PhD program gave me a terrific 'realistic job preview' of what it takes to succeed as a college professor.  The educational emphasis on statistics and research methods and the access to faculty really allowed me to learn how to develop my ideas and build a research program, and the experiences in teaching enabled me to hit the ground running when I started my job."

 

Professor Rebecca Bull, Illinois State University

PhD 2008

"The OBHR faculty treat their PhD students like colleagues rather than assistants. My ideas were more than solicited; my analysis and critiques of research and practice were demanded. My experience at Krannert was both challenging and empowering as I learned the foundations of theory within the various facets of our field and how to ask important questions. I am excited to continue passing on the passion which was encouraged by my faculty."
