BGS: Patrick's Story

Ask Patrick what drew him back to the classroom and he will explain that he likes to finish what he has started. Nearly 30 years after a family emergency prevented him from completing his degree, he returned to Temple University via the Bachelor of General Studies program. For him, finishing his degree wasn’t about looking for a job—he is CEO of two companies—it was about building upon work he already loved.

The staff at Temple provided great guidance. They helped me realize I was just one class away from completing the degree and I wanted to put everything I could into the course.
