Ram Pandit ('06-'07): Agricultural Economics

I am writing you from Australia to thank you and your year long PPF program that essentially helped me to secure a professional job despite lack of teaching experience at Auburn. I have recently joined The University of Western Australia as an assistant professor. Have been involved in teaching and learning workshops here and found PPF program a real bridge between a typical PhD graduate and assistant professor in terms of exposing to university teaching and learning environment. Thanks much.

Casey Breslin ('06-'07): Kinesiology

I defended my dissertation in early May, and I will walk in August.  I loved the Biggio Center experience, and I felt that it was a valuable experience that made me a better teacher, researcher, and job candidate. I had two interviews for faculty positions at Bowling Green State University and Old Dominion University, and I received both offers.
