David Young - Computer Information Systems ‘85 (40th Anniversary submission)

I believe I was a non-traditional student at a decidedly non-traditional school. Working full time with 2 small children at home, and carrying a full load as a young 20-something, it was all I could do to balance my life and get through my classes, let alone socialize or develop my relationships with other students (which I really didn’t). My most consistent memory is sleeping between classes on the grass outside of the library or student center, then getting up and shuffling to the cafeteria to get a cup of coffee to stay alert and attentive through another class.
