Hello! I'm Geoff, an EdD student (among other things) at CMU. I've passed comps (yeah!) and am now "writing" my dissertation proposal. I'm interested in exploring what it means to be a donor today.

I also have an interest in program evaluation, and suspect that it will enter into my dissertation. While we are in Ireland, I'll be working on two projects. The first will be a research project which will explore Irish development officers at at least two colleges (Trinity and UNI Galway).
