For friendships, though, start by focusing on these two maintenance behaviors: sharing tasks/activities and self-disclosure.

How Did You Do It? Faith and My Dissertation

July 16, 2017 by David Winyard 10 Comments

Last fall, I defended my Ph.D. dissertation, and in May I attended my graduation at Virginia Tech’s Blacksburg campus.
