BA '86
I grew up in North Carolina, and I lived in New York. Then I went back home and got a bachelor's at UNC Asheville. I wanted to go back to New York to write, and the City College of New York accepted me. That's why I went there. I wrote a book that has been published. I have a whole chapter on my time at CCNY. That's how I liked my time there. CCNY taught me the discipline that I've used the rest of my life, so it was a great boost forward for me. I was always honored to go to a school that had Nobel Prize winners.
