Joan Alexander

academic United States

Joan Alexander is an 88-year-old resident of New Hampshire who recently graduated with a degree in Education from the University of Maine, 65 years after being denied her diploma due to a university policy that barred her from completing her practicum while pregnant. Her perseverance and dedication to education, as well as the support of her daughter Tracy, led to the university reevaluating her past professional experiences, ultimately allowing her to receive the degree she earned in the 1950s. Throughout her life, Alexander has raised four daughters and actively contributed to her community through volunteering.
