"Jury Duty" for Simon Hazée's PhD Defense at HEC-Liège Management School (Liege, Belgium)

I drove a rental car from Muenster to Liege, Belgium, to participate in Simon Hazée's PhD dissertation defense.  I have known Simon for nearly 12 years, but really got to know him when I was a visiting professor at the HEC-Liège Management School during my sabbatical a couple of years ago.  He also helped to coordinate bring a group of Belgian students to BGSU in 2014 and joined them for dinner at our house in April of that year.

The "Jury" for Simon's Defense: François Pichault, Zelal Ates, Cécile Delcourt, Simon, Yves Van Vaerenbergh, Dwayne, Sabine Benoit, and Bart Larivière

Simon with his academic parents and "grandparents": Dwayne (a supervisor for Cecile's PhD), Cecile (Simon's co-advisor), Simon, Yves (Simon's other co-advisor), and Bart (Yves' supervisor for his PhD)
