On April 29, Cory Lowe walked across the stage to celebrate earning his PhD in Criminology at the University of Florida, a little more than a decade after earning his Associate of Arts in Political Science at Georgia Highlands College (GHC).
Although Lowe initially received his PhD in 2020, commencement ceremonies were put on hold at the time. Participating in last month s graduation ceremony reminded Lowe of earning his first degree at GHC, which laid the groundwork for his academic and professional career.

This enabled me to restart my journey through higher education on a much better footing.
