Angeline Dvorak’s Academic Lewis & Clark Expedition < 1. term used to describe the academic expedition undertaken by Angeline Dvorak in gaining her many academic degrees; 2. the expedition begins after Angeline Dvorak received an A.A. Degree from Gulf Coast Community College in Panama City, FL (in 1977), and a B.A. Degree from Troy State University in Troy, AL (in 1979); 3. the expedition begins in 1981-1983, when Dvorak was a teacher at Panama City Christian School, and continues from 1983-1985, when she was an Assistant Professor at Gulf Coast Community College in Panama City, FL. During this time — 1984 to be exact — she received an M.S. in English education from Florida State University, which is in Tallahasee, FL. It seems (according to mapquest.com) that this is a 121.16 mile drive, requiring about 2 hours and 17 minutes (about half of drive is on U.S. highway or something less); 4. the expedition gets even more amazing when one considers that, in addition to the full-time jobs in Panama City and the academic work in Tallahassee, Angeline Dvorak also earned an M.A. in English in 1985 from the University of Alabama, which is in Tuscaloosa, AL. As mapquest.com indicates, this is a 320.22 mile drive requiring about 6 hours and 9 minutes. If one considers that Dvorak began work in 1985 (until 1990) as an Instructor at Enterprise State Junior College in Enterprise, AL, the trip to Tuscaloosa required only 4 hours and 20 minutes to complete the 218.05 mile expedition. But, using Enterprise as the starting point, where she began work in 1985, to get to Tuscaloosa, where she got an M.A. in 1985, assumes she did everything in one year. So, either the former distance or an average travel distance of 270 miles and 5 hours and 15 minutes seems appropriate (an amazing feat still); 5. The Academic Expedition concludes during the 1985-1990 period, when Dvorak was working at Enterprise State Junior College in Enterprise, AL. In 1989, Angeline Dvorak received her PhD in English from Florida State University, in Tallahassee, Florida. As mapquest.com indicates, Tallahassee is 135.78 miles from Enterprise, requiring a drive of some 2 hours and 46 minutes; 6. As one can tell, Angeline Dvorak’s Academic Lewis & Clark Expedition was an amazing feat, one Meriwether Lewis & William Clark would be proud of; 7. Or would they? With all the working and the traveling, when did she have time for studies?
