Moore’s Thesis Recognized by Dean of Graduate School

Mark McClellan, who serves as the USU’s Vice President for Research & Dean of the School of Graduate Studies, has offered his congratulations for a job well done to Bonnie Moore for her thesis “Creating Space & Place: The Life of a Morman Polygamous Woman, Amy Teresa Leavitt.” As a part of his oversight and approval of graduate degrees, McClellan regularly chooses a thesis or dissertation to read, and in an email to Bonnie, McClelland writes that this semester, “Yours was the thesis that I selected to read and review. I very much enjoyed the analysis of Ms. Leavitt's life. Your insights to the emergence, proliferation and ending of polygamy was well framed. Your prose was both enjoyable and insightful. It kept me glued to the thesis while enjoying the analysis you provided.  The life story of Ms. Leavitt was intriguing and caused me to raise questions of curiosity throughout.”
