Student Overcomes Obstacles and Graduates

Craig Johnson at graduation.

SALEM, Ore. -- When Craig Johnson turned in his final paper this past week to Corban University psychology professor Laurie Smith, he made eye contact and gave her a high five.
“This,” Smith said, “from a young man who couldn’t look me in the eye four years ago.”
It was a moment of celebration for both. Johnson had just fulfilled his last requirement for graduation. Smith had just witnessed the culmination of a remarkable journey.
