Anyone a Fan?

Ben spent much of the latter part of 2010 applying to 8 different PhD programs across the country. It was a huge undertaking. We have been running to the mailbox every day for news. The other day Ben called from work and asked me to check his email, in it was a copy of a letter saying "CONGRATULATIONS!!!" Ben was accepted to his first choice program, Advertising at University of Texas at Austin (which happens to be the ONLY program in the nation that offers a PhD in Advertising).
So far, this is the only school we've heard from. We are all so proud of Ben and so excited for the new adventures coming to us this summer! Thank you to the many people who wrote a bazillion recommendation letters!
Nice work Ben!
