A PhD Conferred ‘in absentia’: And other PhD stories from Victoria Cooper
O.
Vicky receives her testamur in absentia (a place near Diggers Rest – Grafton) …..Doug — Jumps for joy!
.
Vicky has her testamur at last! Doug is very happy as he can celebrate with Vicky their PhD awards!
We reckon that Diggers’ Rest has never seen such crazy head gear…..and that it should be considered that PhD conferral ceremonies should all be like this.

Who’d have thought that such wide-brimmed ‘hats’ would be doubly useful in our sunny, sandy climate.
Slip, slop, slap!
Congratulations all around!
