Larry's Graduation

During the late 1980s I studied in various PhD programs at The University of Toledo and Union Graduate School. Just couldn't make up my mind in which major I should focus on: health sciences, exercise physiology, or clinical psychology.

During that period, The University of New Mexico (UNM) and Harvard University developed a special Health Promotion Program that was funded by the Kellogg Foundation in Michigan. Understanding the wellness emphasis of this program, I applied to UNM. This is the largest university in New Mexico and is a Division 1 state university. It is also known as the Harvard University of the Southwest. I was accepted into the program. I graduated during December, 1992. However, my chairperson allowed me to enter the big spring ceremonies. Here are some pictures of UNM and my graduation:

The department where I obtained my PhD is in Johnson Center. Most of my classes were held here. I also took my doctoral comps and dissertation review in this building.

I frequently studied at the Duck Pond at UNM
