His Highness Prince Consort William Ananto-Sandoval Graduates with Honors from Imperial University

His Highness, the Prince Consort William Ananto-Sandoval has earned his Philosophy Doctorate from Kalistan Imperial University in Kaliburg.  He graduated with honors from the Agronomy Department following the successful defense of his dissertation titled, "Modern Growing methods for Dry Land Cereals".  The Prince Consort enrolled in the department soon after getting married to Her Imperial Majesty, the Empress, and conducted research in association with ODEN and his former colleagues at the Ananto Grower's Syndicate.

The achievement was celebrated by Her Imperial Majesty, the Empress, who was on hand to congratulate him.  The University asked the Empress to give a speech but she declined the offer, preferring to simply congratulate the Prince Consort on his accomplishment.  House Ananto did, however make a generous ₭3 Million donation to the Agriculture Department to encourage students to study both agriculture and agronomy.  The School intends to use the money to build The Sandoval Center for Advanced Ag Studies.

When asked how he feels now to be Dr. William Ananto-Sandoval, the Prince Consort simply smiled and said "I'm glad its done, and I hope my research contributes to better methods and increased crop yields, both in cereals and in other crops which are useful to the Empire."  The Prince Consort said he would like to begin working with the Ananto Growers' Syndicate again, and feels that his royal duties are not so great a burden that he can't have a job.
