About the Cover
Celebrating the adult learner: Christine Gromis graduated Fresno State’s Reconnect program summa cum laude. Reconnect is
a partnership between the Division of Continuing and Global Education and the College of Arts and Humanities that results in a baccalaureate degree in Liberal Arts. Perhaps because the journey to completion for Gromis was 47 years, her graduation has been that much more pronounced and impactful for her family, friends, and Fresno State community.
