Tom Qualified!!!!

Tom passed his qualification exam for his PhD on Thursday! Basically what that means is that he's been given the go-ahead to work on/finish his thesis project. He submitted a written proposal to his committee (of 5-6 professors) about 2 weeks ago. During his qualification exam, he gave an oral presentation about his thesis and the professors could ask him any question about his thesis, previous research done that relates to his thesis, anything he learned in his classes the past 2 years, etc. And he passed! Yay! I'm so happy for him :)
