Moreover, her dissertation received a runner-up distinction by the National Art Education Association for the Elliot Eisner Outstanding Dissertation Award at its recent New York conference held in early March, 2017. These are tremendous accomplishments and we wish to congratulate Dr. LeBlanc for her achievements!
