Pratt Institute Graduate Computer Graphics Found Information

In August, 2004, I learned the names and dates of degrees earned by two Graduate Computer Graphics students who had been in my classes at Pratt Institute, from Fall, 1988 - October 1, 1990, when I finished requirements. While a student, I heard from them remarks in reference to these degrees, but the information I was told by the schools they attended enlightened me.

Kimberly Karen Richmond-Jeffers earned an Associates Applied Science in Technical Graphics degree, with Distinction, in May, 1987, from Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana
Kimberly Karen Richmond-Jeffers earned a Bachelor of Science in "Organizational Management and Supervision" degree, with Distinction, in May, 1988, from the School of Technology, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. Essentially, this degree gave her the title of "Technician". I was told, by her, that she was Valedictorian of her high school class in Indiana. Well, if she was Valedictorian, what happened to scholarships? I have yet to hear of any school giving scholarships to gain an Associates degree. This degree and the following one, which is, essentially, a business emphasis in technology, are not professional degrees. According to her, she studied "Supervision".

Gina Marie Coniglio earned a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering on May, 1981 from the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. She entered in August, 1976. This is a four-year professional degree, and she was a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of Texas before enrolling in Pratt Institute in 1988. She dropped renewal of her license and was not licensed in New York or Texas in 2004.
