Wayne & Laura Hutton
"We had both come to a point in our lives when our lack of college education became a limiting factor in our careers. Fortuitously, we received an invitation to Lewis University Open House in the mail. After hearing all that Lewis had to offer, we decided that the School of Graduate, Professional & Continuing Education was the right fit for us."
