Meet Liz, SJSU undergraduate student and one of the leaders of Lurie College!

“I became a first-time college student at 31. With such a large gap in my education, I feared I’d fail. Thankfully, I was wrong. My life experiences had changed my priorities, values, and motivations. Knowing the risks involved if I didn’t fully commit to my education, I became the best version of a student i’d ever been. I went from not knowing if I could hack it, to getting A’s and exceeding my own expectations. I’m proud to be a nontraditional student, because I know now just how capable I am.”
