Welcome Dr. Marken
Let’s have some wall-shaking skin-smacking applause for Dr. Dory Marken who successfully defended her dissertation, “Beliefs of Grandmothers Raising Grandchildren in their Provision of Nutrition,” on October 4, 2007. Her committee included Drs. John Watkins (chair), Graham Rowles, Anne Peden, Maria Boosalis, and Malcolm Cutchin (UNC-Chapel Hill, outside examiner).
