| Background: |
The 34-year-old blind single mother of three
teenagers graduated summa cum laude, having achieved a 4.0
grade point average in both of her majors — criminal
justice and Afro-ethnic studies. She received the President’s
Associates Scholastic Award, the university’s top honor
for academic achievement. “I can say in all honesty
she is the best student I have instructed in my 15 years of
university teaching, which includes Washington State University,
Arizona State University and USC,” said James Lasley,
Cal State Fullerton professor of criminal justice. Lawson’s
presentation will include tips on strategies for selecting
classes, networking with other students, meeting with professors,
time management techniques and other subjects. Lawson’s
professional goal is to become a university professor and
to conduct research to help others in need. |
