Congratulations to recent OML graduates: Brooke, Josh, Marisa, Isabel, Jason, and our most recent PhD: Dr. Sandra Stangeland-Molo. We didn’t get photos of everyone, unfortunately, but we did get some. We’re so proud of everyone!

Congratulations to our lab members who graduate last weekend. Katie, Brian, Carter, and Claire all received their bachelor degrees. Sandra and Jason also received their PhDs. Sandra was event selected to give a speech at the department graduation ceremony! We will miss them all, but we’re very proud.

Jason has defended last week and (of course) passed, making him Dr. Jason Cox! He already has a job lined up with Align Technology, the company behind Invisalign, and will be starting almost right away. He will very much be missed in the lab, but we wish him the best of luck in his new job and in everything else.

OML is very proud to have had two of our amazing undergrads graduate last weekend.

Jennifer is will be working as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) in the Raleigh area during her gap year and applying to medical schools for fall 2023. This summer she’s going to stick around the lab to help us out, so we’re relieved to not be losing her quite yet!
