Every once in a while a hit pops up on my StatCounter indicating that someone is trying to locate the notes from my doctoral study at Indiana University. I had those notes posted on an old website, so I’m re-posting them here in the hope that they help my budding fellow scholars with their academic pursuits.

Congratulations to my NGU friend and colleague, Dr. Lilia Stoytcheva!
Dr. Lilia Stoytcheva is a firm believer in miracles. She’s experienced too many of them to have any doubts.
As she prepares for a Tuesday performance at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Stoytcheva is reminded of her first exposure to music in her native Bulgaria at age 5 — and a series of improbable steps in between.
Stoytcheva, an associate music professor at North Greenville University, says it was divine intervention that enabled her to attend a music conservatory that led to a teaching job in the Czech Republic. Another dose of special intervention provided a full music scholarship at Winthrop University, and yet another miracle paved the way to U.S. citizenship.
