Moving Forward

After waiting for a long time, I finally heard back from my doctoral program advisor with regards to whether or not I can continue with the program from Germany. For those of you who are new readers, here is the brief background:

I applied for a doctoral program back in January of this year (before my husband was offered a position in Germany). I was accepted and had plans to begin my coursework this fall in Oregon. Around March/April, my husband got a call from the global office indicating they wanted to bring him over to Germany for a position on their global team. At first, was I devastated at the thought of having to give up the program, but then I began thinking of alternative ways to make it work. I submitted a proposal to the program coordinator asking to remain enrolled and to use Skype in order to participate in courses from afar. I have been waiting since July to hear back.

So, the short answer is that the faculty members were not keen on using technology as a means for me to participate in the courses, however, I did have support from a few of the faculty members (mostly my two advisors) so it is possible that I can continue and somehow make this work!

I just need to figure out the details with my advisor to see where I go from here and what the next steps should be!
