ESCANABA — Two area residents have successfully completed their requirements for a bachelor’s degree and graduated following the summer 2020 semester from Lake Superior State University. Students were taking classes at Bay College, which offers LSSU baccalaureate degree programs on Bay College’s campuses in Escanaba and Iron Mountain.

Graduating with a bachelor’s of science in business with a marketing minor is Marla Han, of Gladstone, and in general studies with concentrations in emergency services and behavioral sciences is Amy Anderson, also of Gladstone.

Anderson graduated Magna Cum Laude, earning a 3.70-3.89 cumulative grade point average on a 4.00 scale, and Han graduated with Cum Laude honors, earning a 3.50-3.69 GPA.

“It was great to have the option to finish my bachelor degree close to home. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of instruction that I received, as well as the flexible schedule,” said Han.

Heidi Rife, LSSU’s regional center coordinator, congratulated the summer graduates. “Your persistence and hard work paid off, we wish you the best wherever life takes you next,” she said.

Local degree programs include accounting, business administration, criminal justice, early childhood education, elementary education, general studies, and secondary education. For more information, contact Heidi Rife at 906-217-4123 or hberg@lssu.edu.
