Interesting Credentials Thread

Frank Addivinola: Bachelor's from Williams College, then six or seven graduate degrees as follows: One master's from Harvard Extension, two master's from UMUC (now UMGC), JD and LLM from Suffolk, PhD from Northeastern. A degree in biotechnology from Johns Hopkins currently listed as an MS on his law office website but as a BS on his LinkedIn page. With so many degrees I might lose track too!

He's published tutorial books for both bar exam prep and organic chemistry. He has great student ratings for both undergraduate law and biology. He's listed as an investment advisor and a realtor. He was a Republican candidate for several offices from Massachusetts in the 2010s.

 

Dondi E. Costin: Bachelor's from the U.S. Air Force Academy. Five master's: Two each from Air University and Liberty University, and an MDiv from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. DMin and PhD from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

He'll be part of awarding many, many more degrees in his new job as president of Liberty University. He was previously president of Charleston Southern University, and before that Chief of Chaplains of the U.S. Air Force.

The new chancellor of Liberty also has an interesting CV. Jonathan Falwell completed a JD from Taft Law School (Calbar registered, currently DEAC NA; he isn't a member of the California bar).

 

He's the late Rev. Jerry Falwell Sr.'s son, and brother of Jerry Falwell Jr. Bio. here concentrates on his Church work, which appears to have been very successful indeed.

An Evangelical Battle of the Generations: To Embrace Trump or Not? (Maggie Severns, Politico Magazine, June 1, 2021)

The most interesting character to me in a future Falwell family biopic. (Casting idea, Jim Gaffigan.)

 

Abeni El-Amin [LinkedIn] [another bio]: PhD BA OL from Northcentral, EdD EdL from Cumberlands, PhD IS PPSC in progress at Union. "Ph.D.S." which I expect means PhD student at Clark Atlanta. Two doctorates from the unaccredited Colorado Theological Seminary.

EdS from Fort Hays. Master's from Bellevue (two), Notre Dame, Fort Hays, Ball State, Grand Canyon, and Kentucky State. Bachelor's from Kentucky State. Associate's from Kentucky State and Ivy Tech.

Adjunct for Fort Hays and others, and consultant for University of Kentucky.

 

Timothy J. Legg: PhD in Health Sciences Research from Touro College (likely meaning it was completed through the old Touro University International when that was a division of the college), PsyD from California Southern, MSN and CAGS from Binghamton, MS in Psychology from Kaplan (now PUG). Licensed psychologist. Nurse practitioner in two specialties, psychiatric/mental health and gerontological. Trained in psychoanalysis and several other therapy modalities. Licensed nursing home administrator, licensed professional counselor and supervisor, certified addictions counselor, certified recreation therapist, and more.

 

I read the list of education and credentials on his site. Dang. He potentially spent a lot of money AND spends a lot of money if he maintains all of those licenses from addictions to psychology. Possibly older than his photo too because that stuff took a while.

That is very strange with the defense of the dissertation for three phds closely following one another. Was this dude taking speed? Or intravenously taking in Red Bull?
