Former CSM President Dr. Brad Gottfried, right, and former CSM Trustee Chair Michael Middleton, center, congratulate Jamie Cusick, assisted by her father, on earning an associate degree in criminal justice with highest honors. Cusick, of Hughesville, was born with a neuro-muscular disorder. As a high school student and in her first years of college, she required little assistance in class or in completing schoolwork. As the disorder has progressed, so has her need for assistance from CSM’s Disability Support Services and a team of scribes and support staff. Focusing on her life’s passions rather than her disorder has been her way of dealing with the discomfort, fatigue and uncertainty that each day brings, Cusick said.
Congratulations on completing all the graduation requirements for your degree or certificate! You are now ready to go down the aisle and get your diploma!
There are designated seating areas for individuals with disabilities behind the graduates, and interpreters are a part of the graduation ceremony. If you need additional services please contact Disability Support Services at least six weeks in advance.
