A degree at last: Bay Area man graduates UC Davis after 47 years
Briefly

At UC Davis, Ron Austin celebrates receiving his Bachelor of Arts in political science after nearly half a century. As the first in his family to attend college, he initially aimed to earn his degree to support his mother. However, he was distracted by football aspirations and later realized he was only seven units short of graduation. Now, Austin advises current students on the importance of engaging with university resources to stay focused and achieve their educational goals.
You don't want to be me. You have to take advantage of the university's resources to the fullest. You had plans that brought you here.
When I came back to the states, it wasn't 'What do I need to get that degree?' It was go and get a job.
