During her time at Stan State, Emily discovered her passion for public speaking and American government. She is deeply grateful for the support from her family and the Stan State community. Emily attributes her success to her alma mater and the transformative power of a Stan State education. Emily's story, rooted in perseverance and the strength of her education, continues to inspire as she pursues justice and service in her new role.

Warrior Profile
Laurie Grace's journey to Stanislaus State is a testament to resilience and determination. Overcoming a tumultuous childhood and an abusive marriage, Laurie pursued education as a path to a better life for herself and her six children. Despite facing homelessness and financial hardship, she earned associate degrees. She enrolled at Stan State, aiming to become an elementary school teacher.
The support from Stan State's Basic Needs program was pivotal. When Laurie faced housing insecurity, the program provided immediate assistance, securing temporary housing for her family. The program also helped with food and financial resources, allowing Laurie to continue her education.
Laurie now looks forward to graduating and inspiring her children and future students with her story of perseverance. "Stan State really cares," she says, grateful for the unexpected support that has helped her keep moving forward.
