Jenn Voth successfully defended her MA thesis on Friday Aug. 10. Her thesis titled "Illness attributions, perceptions of stigma and coping strategies: Adjusting to inflammatory bowel disease" examined how perceptions (own and others) about the cause of IBD affect well-being and adjustment to the disease.
Jenn did an oustanding job defending her thesis with her mother, brother and sister in-law, and another lab member, Barat, in attendance. Afterwards Barat helped us start a new lab tradition, the "Cup of Knowledge" by presenting Jenn with a beautful stailness steel mug and a well-earned congratulatory toast. The mug will be ingraved soon to commemorate both Jenn's success and what we hope will be an ongoing Lab tradition. Check back for pictures in a few weeks......
