CAPE GIRARDEAU -- Two clinicians at the Community Counseling Center Rondi J. Rork and Christi A. Turpin have completed final requirements for doctoral degrees by defending their doctoral dissertations. Both will receive doctorates of philosophy in psychology.

Rork will be receiving her degree in clinical and social psychology from Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn. Turpin will be receiving her degree in educational psychology in human learning from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Ill.
