“I loved CJC (Clayton Jun- ior College), and it had a powerful impact on me. It provided me a great place to start my educational journey. I loved my profes- sors and can still name all my science instructors, in- cluding Helen Brown, O.C. Lam, Brooke Pridmore and Miriam Perry. Rebecca Halyard was my advisor. In fact, I am still in touch with Dr. Brown... Clayton provided me with the sup- port I needed as a non-tra- ditional student (I was 29 years old when I began in 1972). There were many great teachers who cared about me.”
