Look at my friend!! GET IT @DJ_Wilson96 !!!! I’m so proud of you!!

[Victoria C. Lloyd, PhD @docTORIa2]

What an incredible and unexpected honor! I cannot believe that I won the 2024 Outstanding Dissertation Award in Higher Education Administration. It made it all the better to be able to share this moment with my committee including @AshCademic , my daughter, and my husband.

Also my newest and favorite regalia hack is the secret fanny pack!

Today’s commencement was incredible! I’m so excited to be hooded and an official graduate! Thank you @AshCademic for being the most amazing advisor!! #docTORIa #GeauxTigers

In all of the chaos that the past few months have been I realized I never shared my dissertation link: https://t.co/P1kda10myA

I’m so excited about these results and being able to cross PhD off the life goals list!

[Victoria C. Lloyd, PhD @docTORIa2]

@EriqFelix @ASHEoffice @ASHE_CPPHE I’d be interested in helping! I participated in the 2021 session 🥰

It’s also always a pleasure to #anchordown with a fellow @vupeabody HEA alum! Thanks for indulging me @Rwmitch!

[Victoria C. Lloyd, PhD @docTORIa2]

I had a wonderful time at @LSUCHSE ‘s distinguished graduates ceremony today! Thank you @AshCademic and my family for your support today and always!

[Victoria C. Lloyd, PhD @docTORIa2]

@kimbarlie @ASHEoffice Our pre-Zoom fancies! So much has changed since that conference, but I’m so glad having you as a friend hasn’t!

[Victoria C. Lloyd, PhD @docTORIa2]

[Victoria C. Lloyd, PhD @docTORIa2]

@AshCademic @LSU @LSUbaseball @CelebrityCruise @LSUFloresMBA @AlumniLSU I was wondering where your post about last minute finding a way to go to the game was! Being in another country is probably the only explanation for you not making it to a championship LSU game 😂😂

[Victoria C. Lloyd, PhD @docTORIa2]

I am so excited to share that I passed my proposal defense today and am one step closer to earning my PhD! Thank you my chair/advisor @AshCademic and my committee for your constant support and guidance.

[Victoria C. Lloyd, PhD @docTORIa2]

With all of the chaos of the holidays I forgot to announce my first real publication is out! I’m hopeful this article will help bridge the gap between practitioner needs and researcher studies. I am honored to be included in this special issue! https://t.co/FcjrqYZ8wD

When you have your first date night post baby and it ends with telling @Joe_Gatto that he is wrong when it comes to understanding Disney movies. You’re a lovely man, but your interpretation of Cinderella’s shoes needs serious work.

[Victoria C. Lloyd, PhD @docTORIa2]

I am so incredibly excited to announce that I passed my comprehensive exam defense and I am officially a doctoral candidate! Thank you so much for serving on my committee @AshCademic, @SpinDoctorLSU, Dr. Kennedy, and Dr. Xia! Ahhh! So excited!!

[Victoria C. Lloyd, PhD @docTORIa2]

Update: baby woke up and wanted all the cuddles! We’ve been in this position for hours, yay end of comps 🥰

[Victoria C. Lloyd, PhD @docTORIa2]

Of course the moment I turn in my comps (that I’ve spent all my free time on for the past three weeks) is when my baby decides it’s time to stop fighting her nap. Like come on kid, mom is ready for all the baby cuddles, and now you’re like it’s a good time to sleep. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Victoria C. Lloyd, PhD @docTORIa2]

Nearing the end of writing my comps & I’d like to thank my baby for taking a break from teething to let me sleep enough to write reasonably coherent sentences again. Tomorrow is blocked off for a heavy edit & I look forward to reading the sleep deprived work from last weekend 😂

[Victoria C. Lloyd, PhD @docTORIa2]

#WhyApply Day! I applied for @OglethorpeUniv because they offered so many opportunities to grow! From a semester abroad, to an internship with the circus, to leadership through @trisigma, to my wonderful library desk my Ogle education helped shape me into the educator I am today!

[Victoria C. Lloyd, PhD @docTORIa2]

So proud!! I’m so excited for all you’ve accomplished🎉
