Goals

The Trunkfish adapts to its surroundings by inflating and deflating its body, depending on the level of threat or the water conditions. To illustrate how the voyage to the Ph.D. has enabled me to adapt, compare my original goal statement, written back in 1999, with my current goal statement. Although the essence of the two statements is the same, the current statement reflects progressive change in my thinking as I moved through the program. The visual representation of my current goal pulls all the pieces together.
