Thrilled to share Dr. Kristin Gibson passed her dissertation defense with flying colors on March 1. Despite the rainy weather, Kristin shined bright with a room full of colleagues and faculty engaged in learning about her work! Her research, titled ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES TO REDUCE SINGLE-USE BOTTLED WATER PURCHASING AND USE, used innovative statistical modeling techniques alongside an experimental design to determine how to most effectively communicate about reducing single-use plastic water bottle use. Kristin will graduate with her PhD from the University of Georgia in Agricultural Leadership, Education and Communication in May, 2024. Congratulations Kristin on such an amazing achievement!
