Graduates: Danielle White, Ph.D.

Dr. White on SisterMentors:

I completed and defended my dissertation less than a year after joining SisterMentors in October 2002. I credit a lot of that success to SisterMentors. The program provided a structured environment that helped me manage my time and workload. It encouraged me to develop and complete both short and long term goals. I was also encouraged to voice any frustrations or fears interfering with my progress. SisterMentors' women offered advice, suggestions, and sympathetic ears. There were several occasions when I believed I might have given up writing if I did not have the support of these women. . . more
