Bob Kerr is the type of student the late Bill Harris had in mind
when he hatched the idea for Sac State’s career and technical
studies program.
Kerr’s bachelor’s degree did not come easy. He commuted from
Vallejo for the weekend classes after working stressful graveyard
shifts at the Vallejo Police Department. He also hadn’t attended
college full-time since 1995.
“It was definitely challenging, but if it was easy, everybody
would be doing it,” says Kerr, who graduated in May 2013 and
earned the Dean’s Award for the College of Education.
