“When I received my 4-year degree that I had wanted for my life, I felt like time froze, that I was in a capsule and nothing was moving, and no one really understood the level of the impact that it had on me," says Dorothy Mae-Barr Moore @TheGradNetwork https://t.co/LUaq4qZaT4
“God put something in me to have a hunger for education,” Dorothy Mae-Barr Moore, 71: As fate would have it, the @universityofky's Donovan Scholars Program for 65+ Kentuckians provided Dorothy with an opportunity she needed. @TheGradNetwork @CPENews@cpepres#KYHigherEdMatters
