Elizabeth Patterson, 91成人导航 Class of 1993, earned an Associate degree in Accounting and a Computer Specialist Certificate. Her college journey began by chance in 1990, when she was a stay-at-home mom in Avinger with her husband and two kids. A neighbor invited her to 91成人导航 to drop off paperwork, and while waiting on campus, a staff member asked if she needed help. When she said she wasn鈥檛 a student, they asked, 鈥淲ould you like to be?鈥 Minutes later, she filled out an application. That fall, at age 32, Elizabeth started college.
She later earned her BBA in Accounting from UT Tyler and worked in the field before retiring. Now a proud grandmother of eight, she still lives in Avinger with her husband, Jeff. Her connection to 91成人导航 continues鈥攈er oldest grandchild recently began her own college journey at 91成人导航 last fall!
