In This Section Testimonials I am very grateful to my advisors, the faculty and my family for helping me get through this process in two years with a 4.0 GPA. I enjoyed the challenge. I enjoyed learning the research process and being able to engage in my own study that was personal to me and the work that I’m doing in education. Tamara Dozier-Holloway Doctor of Education '22 Brenau allows me to pursue my dream of achieving an Ed.D. while working full time and having a family. I had a serious car accident, and I was told I would never graduate from college, hold down a full-time job or have children. I have been in education for 24 years and worked as an assistant principal, elementary and middle school teacher.
