Welcome and a Tribute!

Welcome to the clan, Zygotes!

We are the seven students that make up the fourth cohort of the online PhD program at Texas Tech University. In the fine tradition carried out by those who came before we have assumed our newly minted name, "Quadraphonics."

As soon as we stepped onto campus we immediately became part of a great big wonderful family. The journey to campus though can often be lonely and daunting but believe us everything you are doing is worth it. Instead of just joining a graduate program you have joined a community of legends. Not only are the professors wonderful and very open to chatting with you and sharing knowledge but the students are as well. You can almost feel the greatness around the room as you brush shoulders with others who may be in the process of creating the next big article that stirs up and rocks the TC community to its core.

We have decided to assist you and act as your mentors or big sisters and brothers if you will. Hopefully through this blog we can impart our knowledge or assist you in some way on your journey.
