From the son of a sharecropper to a dedicated scholar, this story is a testament to perseverance and the power of dreams. At 72, Dr. Harold Williams has achieved an extraordinary milestone by earning his PhD in History from The University of Texas at Dallas! After serving as a Marine, Dr. Williams wanted more and returned in 2012 to pursue his graduate degrees. From working as a Ranch Hand and Horse Wrangler to walking across the stage in spurs, he has shown that determination knows no age limits. Since returning to school after getting his BS in 1979, Dr. Williams has been a beloved member of the OIT community, frequently visiting the Labs and utilizing OIT services. He often reflects on how the assistance provided helped get him through school. Our CA staff have cherished the time spent assisting him with his dissertation and general IT-related questions. His heartfelt gratitude for the staff and the support they provide is truly touching. Your story is in an inspiration to us all. Congratulations Dr. Williams!
