DeWayne had earlier received his associate degree in computer network management and for the past several years has been in charge of Goodwill's computer network in Pittsburgh where he was employee of the month twice. At lunch, which was a great time, we learned that DeWayne is just one and a half semesters away from getting his bachelor's degree in business from Robert Morris College. DeWayne attended Robert Morris in evenings, taking nearly a full load while also working full time. We were impressed! |
