You were at UT the same time I was. But our paths probably didn’t cross, I spent the vast majority of my time in the engineering buildings.
My history:
[ul]University of Florida: Fall semester 1985[/ul]
[ul]Santa Fe Community College: On and off in 1986-1987[/ul]
[ul]University of Georgia: Late 1987-1989[/ul]
[ul]Dekalb Community College: On and off 1990-1993[/ul]
[ul]Austin Community College: On and off from 1995-1998[/ul]
[ul]University of Texas: 1998-Fall 2000 and I finally got my degree in Architectural Engineering. Only took me 15 years.[/ul]
With that kinda history, ya gotta figure I’ve crossed paths with more than one doper…

Yay! Two other Mountaineers! Any others out there? Let’s start our own alumni chapter: The SDMB Mountaineer Alumni Society!
WVmom, you’re lucky you got to stay in Morgantown. I would have loved to stay, but all the political science jobs were in the DC area!

Like **kittenblue, Miss Mapp, and Mudshark** , my husband was an English major at Kent State. He started in 1973 and graduated in 1980. Much later he acquired a master’s in education at Old Dominion University ( **vunderbob** , make very _very_ sure you save all your records from that place and be sure to read every single official piece of paper they send you. Poo-flinging monkeys could do a better job of maintaining records, and Og help you if and when you have to correct an error).
I am a 1984 graduate of Bowling Green State University. Major in journalism, minor in visual communciation technology. Considering how my career path has worked out, that should have been the other way around.
I now work at the University of North Carolina, and could get a master’s degree if I wanted to, but I still can’t figure out what I want to be when I grow up.
