LaMorris Crawford '06 is the beginning of a new family legacy.

Born to a teenage mom in the south Chicago projects, he was only 10 months old when she was shot to death at the age of 17, making herself a human shield, which kept her sister and unborn nephew alive.

From prankster to president
In the nearly 90-year-old Wheatley Administration Building, nestled within a quaint southern campus, Kendall Blanchard '64 prepares for his new job: president of Georgia Southwestern State University.

Beth (Schoenwetter) Zirgibel '93
The echo of the judge's verdict hangs thick in the air of the courtroom — another closed case for Beth (Schoenwetter) Zirgibel '93, assistant district attorney for the state of Wisconsin in the city of Milwaukee.

Success in Beth's line of work doesn't always look like one might expect. From convicting murderers to finding help for abused and neglected children, the rewards are many, but sought-after verdicts are sometimes bittersweet.
