Fifteen Years + Tenacity + Devotion to Family = Associate and Bachelor's Degrees

Timothy Johnson said Kent State advisors, who knew he had been working on his degree for 15 years, helped him coordinate his schedule so that he could take in-person classes â€” while working a full-time job â€” and still have time to spend with his children. He earned an associate degree in December 2022 and a bachelor's degree in May 2023.
