It's official - after 6 years of hard work, dedicated & innovative teaching, and an ever-expanding research agenda, Rob has been awarded tenure at the University of North Dakota. This means job security, as well as a promotion from assistant to associate professor.However, this is no way means that he will rest on his laurels. He is always trying to improve his teaching by implementing new technologies and strategies. He was recently awarded a large grant to study the US Customs and Border Protection organization here on the northern border. This could turn into an even larger project and potentially be a chapter in the book he is planning to write.
The kids and I are all very proud of him for his hard work and achievements. He's been so amazing at balancing work and home and the challenges that both present. Congratulations, hon!
This great news, combined with the ailing economy, has led us to make some major decisions...stay tuned for updates.
