The mother and son are preparing for Mother’s Day by stepping across the stage on Friday to earn their master’s degrees from Texas Christian University. This is a celebration of the days leading up to Mother’s Day.
Kyle Fields will be earning his Master of Liberal Arts degree, and his mother, Brandi Fields, will be receiving her Executive Master of Business Administration degree, according to the announcement made by the institution on Friday, which is the first-ever school ceremony that is exclusive to graduates.
“Sharing this moment with my son is something I never imagined,” Brandi Fields staed in a news release from the school. “We’ve supported each other through late nights and strict deadlines. To walk the stage together, especially on Mother’s Day weekend, is an incredible and meaningful moment for our family.”
She noted that the path she had to travel in order to earn her graduate degree was a lengthy one.
“Returning to the classroom after so many years was a challenge,” she stated. “But learning alongside experienced professionals from diverse backgrounds made it incredibly rewarding. The insights I gained from both professors and peers were invaluable.”
Kyle Fields, who once worked for TCU Athletics as an equipment manager, has expressed his conviction that he will pursue a career in athletics in the future.
