KROLL DEFENDS DISSERTATION
On Tuesday, June 2nd, Margaret Kroll successfully defended her dissertation, “Comprehending Ellipsis.” The virtual attendees participated in a lively question period with Margaret and her committee members, Matt Wagers (chair), Adrian Brasoveanu, Amanda Rysling, and Pranav Anand. The defense was followed by toasts to Margaret’s achievement by all who were gathered, lasting well into the night. Congratulations, Margaret!
Pictures of the defense and defender are included below, thanks to Matt Wagers and Kelsey Kraus (PhD ’18).
