Gregory Parker, son of Brenda and Eddie Parker, of Ormond Beach, has received a master’s degree from Harvard University, with a thesis on Tourism and the Coral Reef and a grade of 4.0.
He graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts. Before Harvard, he received an associate of arts degree from Daytona Beach Community College (now Daytona State College) where he graduated with honors.
It wasn’t easy to go from a community college to Harvard, his father said. “He had to take a battery of tests to get in,” Parker said. He also had to pass the entrance exam.
At Harvard, he majored in environmental management and his thesis was “Tourism and the Coral Reef.”
Gregory was always interested in the environment, and diving was his main activity, according to his father. He now has a master diver’s certificate. He met his wife while diving in Malaysia, and they now live on the Isle of Man with their two sons.
