Β π Mother, teacher, non-traditional student finds passion in special educationΒ π
Lorie Lee never imagined sheβd make it to university; she is now graduating with two degrees, having won the prestigious Presidentβs Prize. A mother of three and non-traditional student, her inspiring tale begins earlier than her first day at NAU. As a child, Lee experienced poverty, a mother with substance abuse issues and a father unwilling to care for her. Through the support of her friends and teachers, Lee found a love and passion for education and excelled academically. Married and raising three children with special needs, Lee enrolled at NAU’s North Valley campus and is earning a bachelor’s degree in both elementary education and special education.
