Congratulations Atena Qaedi!

On September 16, MA student Atena Qaedi successfully defended her thesis, "The Association between Compliance with Colonoscopy Surveillance after Primary Treatment and Health Utilization".

Our heartiest congratulations go to Atena and her supervisor Mingshan Lu, and our thanks to Lasheng Yuan (internal examiner) and Yuan Xu (examiner, Community Health Sciences), and to Trevor Tombe (Neutral Chair).

From Atena herself, "I would like to express my sincerest gratitude towards my supervisor, Prof. Mingshan Lu, for her continuous guidance, encouragement, and support during my M.Sc. program. Also a special thanks goes to our wonderful department graduate program administrator Merrit Penny for showing me the real meaning of caregiving, and for always lending me her ear to listen to my challenges and trying her best to help with my problems. Without her support, I would not have been able to complete my M.A."
