Shari Smoot Graduates with BS in Liberal Arts

"When I came to work for Andrews University in July 2012 finishing my degree was the furthest thing from my mind.  I thought it would take me 30+ hours and at my age that was too daunting of a task!  Within a year, at the suggestion of my boss,  Dr. David Faehner, I checked into getting a BS in Liberal Arts and discovered it was do-able.  After 30 years and returning to college 3 times I finally graduated on May 3, 2015.  Many thanks to Dr. Faehner for encouraging me and providing the time away from my work so I could finish.  Also, thanks to all the many, many people who also encouraged me and supported me including my children for picking up the slack at home.  I’m so thrilled to have this degree and to have finished with high marks."
