Local students graduate from LSSU regional centers

ESCANABA — Four area residents have successfully completed their requirements for a bachelor’s degree and graduated following the fall 2020 semester from Lake Superior State University (LSSU). Graduates are invited to attend LSSU’s commencement scheduled for May 1.

Graduating with a bachelor’s of science in business administration are Morgan Debelak and Maia Roll, both of Escanaba. Debelak minored in marketing and Roll earned a management concentration.

Graduating with a bachelor’s of science in criminal justice with a generalist concentration is Ashley Bonifas, of Escanaba.

Graduating with a bachelor’s of science in early childhood education is Mikiah (Olson) Tryan, of Escanaba. Tryan also graduated with an associate degree in general studies with a behavioral science concentration. Tryan graduated Summa Cum Laude, earning a 3.90-4.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA) on a 4.00 scale.

“The LSSU Regional Center made it possible for me to get my bachelor’s degree. Heidi Rife was always willing to help and made it possible for me to graduate on time,” said Tryan.

Roll felt similarly.

“My time at LSSU has certainly been memorable. I enjoyed having a convenient location and an affordable option for pursuing my bachelor’s degree. LSSU provided me with valuable experiences from working with other students and my professors to being involved with the student club Business Professionals of America. I am thankful for all of my teachers, mentors, and advisors who cheered me on while I worked on completing my degree,” Roll said.

The students were taking classes at Bay College, which offers LSSU baccalaureate degree programs on Bay College’s campuses in Escanaba and Iron Mountain. For more information on degree programs available, contact Heidi Rife at 906-217-4123 or email hberg@lssu.edu.
