<p class="MsoNormal">Hello CPSY community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is an honor and privilege to share news of the successful oral defense of their dissertation today by Reid Thompson Cañas!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For those of you who may not know, Reid worked with Bertranna Muruthi for the first few years in their CPSY degree program at UO. During that time, Reid initiated a new, theoretically driven study that focused on psychological well-being
of LGBT+ individuals in El Salvador—that involved student-led data collection in an international context during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic (2021). This work culminated in the successful completion of their dissertation and dissertation defense, earlier
today. Wow—this is a REALLY impressive undertaking for <u>anyone</u>, let alone a graduate student.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to Bertranna, Reid’s committee included Drs. Jessica Cronce, Geovanna Rodriguez, and me. The oral defense was attended by both in-person and Zoom friends, cohort members, and family, many of whom are shown here in the post-defense
photo. A fantastic showing of community support for this important milestone, congratulations Reid!<o:p></o:p></p>
