Ron receives his Masters

After 3 years of study, half of which was in Russia Ron has received his Masters in International & Community development.

The trip home for the cap and gown ceremony was not possible. The cost too prohibitive. So the choice made to receive the certificate in the mail. This has been a great achievement for Ron with most marks being distinction or high distinction in the 12 subjects covered. At the same time a dissapointment that he would not experience a graduation ceremony and have that picture for all the work. The good news is that the education experience has been good for him and he is able to put new skills to work in his role here in EET.

The certificate arrived in the mail on a day Ron was not in the office, so it was safely tucked away waiting for an opportune time for the presentation. On Sunday the Territorial Commander in the presence of family who are over on holidays made the presentation . A proud moment for Ron and good milestone for his service.

He receives a rose from the Corps officer at Taganka Corps in Moscow.
