One bicycle ride. One course a year. 22 years later, David is graduating. 🎓

In 2004, David rode his bike over to Glendon Campus and asked if he could take a university course. He'd wanted to continue his education after high school in 1964, but with so many brothers and sisters at home, there was no money for university.

So he started when he could: one course per year, for 22 years. This year, Student Services told him he was qualified to graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in International Studies.

Congratulations, David! It's never too late. 🚲 |
