Hi Folks,

It is a pleasure to announce to the Gambia-l family that I was conferred
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry this morning (at the fall
congregation), by the Chancellor of the University of British Columbia.

My area of specialization is Surface Science, which emphasizes
investigations of the structural, chemical, electronic and vibrational
properties of metal and semiconductor surfaces under ultra-high vacuum
conditions.

It has been a long journey from Kaur Primary School, where it all began.
Glad to be in the company of Dr. Abdoulaye Saine and Dr. Katim Touray
(both fellow Saloum-nkolu), whom, knowingly or not, were an inspiration.

Thought I should share my day of joy with you all. HIP HOP HORAY!!! OH!!!
HAY!!! OH!!!

Have a nice day!

Cheers,
       Madiba.
