We would like to congratulate our AIU graduate Gerard Boucher, who has been featured in the Eagle Tribune News page. Gerard Boucher is a war veteran that became blind in combat in Vietnam after a mortar round shrapnel wounded him. Despite his accident, Gerard never gave up and continued his studies. He then started looking for a university that would accommodate his specific needs and eventually enrolled at AIU in a Doctorate Program with a major in Sociology. He completed his assignments using a computer reading software for the blind and sometimes encountered problems with his computer software. But with the help of his tutors and advisors, he was able to graduate with a PhD in Sociology in May 2017.

You can read more about his story on the Eagle Tribune News page in the following link:

Gerard completed his Doctor of Philosophy, PhD program with a major In Sociology at AIU.

We are proud of the achievements of Gerard Boucher and we are sure he will have many more in his professional life.
