As of today I am finally registered for classes and paid my tuition. Getting to this point was the most difficult task. I had many holds on my account. As a newly registered student I was baffled by this. Most of them were taken care of by the department, sign this paper here and that… Continue reading Summer Semester and Some Challenges

I am finally approved to be an affiliate member of AAOMR.  The entire process took around 8 months from the time of application to time of actually membership.  I’m glad to be a member, and hopefully I can get involved as soon as possible.  Maybe I can streamline the application and approval process.
