If you call him Dr. Kevin Hamed and enjoy the celebration, then take the
liberty and have your

fun.  

 

He spent five hours successfully defending his dissertation today (28 Mar
2014) at the University 

of Tennessee Department of Forestry, Wildlife and Fisheries .

 

For those who want to bite their tongues until the most official declaration
has been carved in

stone,  that day will occur sometime in the next several  weeks when the UT
Registrar's office posts

his Ph.D. to his official transcript.

 

His dissertation in Natural Resources is "Impacts of Climate Change, Human
Land Use, and Mercury

Contamination of  Southern Appalachian Plethodontid Salamanders."

 

Among his committee are:  David Buehler, Benjamin Fitzpatrick, John Drake
and Matt Gray.

 

Hamed, a former chief park naturalist and nature center manager at Steele
Creek Park

Nature Center in Bristol Tennessee,  was accepted to graduate school at 

the University of Tennessee-Knoxville in 2008.

 

He is an assistant professor of biology at Virginia Highlands Community
College in Abingdon. 

Kevin took the position as a fulltime member of the biology faculty at
Virginia Highlands 

Community College in August 2003. He filled the biology faculty teaching
position formerly held 

by Doug Ogle, a former long-time and prominent member of the college
faculty.
