Lisa Chase-Rubio 09 says, Graduating from DU is no small thing, especially with debilitating ADHD.

Lisa has survived cancer, cared for folks in need and is a working artist. She believes that everything about her is better since achieving her BA. I can discern information more effectively, support others more ardently, and I have a pretty fancy calling card that validates my opinions: a BA from the Big D.
