Like her childhood idol Wonder Woman, Virginia Kobler ('76, MA, BUS, '79, PhD, ISEEM) is a formidable warrior.
She was the first woman awarded a doctoral degree from The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) in 1979. At the time, Kobler was one of only three women to graduate from an Alabama university with this advanced degree. Equally notable, she earned a Master's degree in Administrative Science from the UAH College of Business in 1976.
The university will make history again on Thursday, May 2, when more women than men will graduate from UAH with doctoral degrees.
