Capella University PhD Graduate Honored by Maybelline New York
Dr. Deborah Sims, a doctoral graduate from the online university,
received the Beauty of Education Award on December 4
MINNEAPOLIS (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) December 15, 2008 --
Dr. Deborah Sims was one of 10 recipients of the 2008 Maybelline New
York Beauty of Education Award. The award recognizes women using the
power of education to make a difference. Dr. Sims was selected by
Maybelline for founding Hopes
for Higher Education, a non-profit organization dedicated to
improving college access for the youth aging out of the foster care
system and into higher education. Dr. Sims earned a doctorate from
Capella University's School
of Harold
Abel School of Psychology in 2006. Capella
University (www.capella.edu),
is an accredited* online
university that has built its reputation by providing
quality online
education for working adults.
Dr. Sims, herself a product of foster care, operated and managed the
Hopes for Higher Education while pursuing her online
PhD. “I found balancing both to be a very positive experience,”
commented Dr. Sims. “I knew that I wanted to conduct my research in this
area, so I was very eager to combine the two activities that I’m most
passionate about—my education and helping the kids aging out of foster
care.” Her organization will receive a $10,000 grant to support their
educational cause along with the opportunity to be showcased in a
national ad in Essence Magazine.
