I chose GGU because I had colleagues that were going there, and I had an associate degree in criminology from City College of San Francisco and wanted to finish my bachelor's. GGU also had a federal grant program for law enforcement officers called LEAP, so I took advantage of it. I got my bachelor's degree in Administration of Justice. What made my time at GGU so memorable were the night programs, the constitutional law course I took with a great professor, and the fact that I had people that I still keep in touch with, like Bill Kidd, who graduated from GGU's master's program. My experience at GGU helped me grow as a person and understand the world around me. It also helped me transition from law enforcement to the corporate world in the 1980s. I took a management course at GGU that really helped me understand the profession and management. I'm most grateful for the experience at GGU because it opened my eyes and broadened my view of things. It made me a better person.
