A Mother of Four Earns Her Doctorate

With programs ranging from accounting to music education, from certificates to doctorates and from completely online to completely on-campus; The University of Toledo has graduate programs fitting a wide variety of interests and lifestyles. It is this variety that makes stories like Dr. Kristy Taylor’s possible.

Dr. Taylor recently graduated from The University of Toledo with a Ph.D. in Higher Education. After earning an MBA and teaching part-time at a community college, Dr. Taylor knew she wanted to earn her Ph.D. When starting the program four years ago, Kristy had two young sons. By the time she accepted her diploma this December, she was a mother of four boys ranging from ages 2-7.

Through the support of family, friends and colleagues, Kristy was able to persevere and achieve her professional goals while still starting her young family. Not only did she earn her Ph.D., but Dr. Taylor is now a visiting instructor in the UT College of Business and Innovation.

The College of Graduate Studies would like to congratulate Dr. Taylor on her tremendous accomplishment. For more information on Dr. Taylor’s story, check out this UT News article.
