Darlene adjusted to campus life, which included learning to register for her classes online and getting used to much younger classmates. Her classmates affectionately called her Ms. D, Mama, Nana and Gramma.
At times, she took up to 20 credit hours per semester. Mullins completed her degree in four years and will graduate summa cum laude. She’s also a member of three honor societies including Phi Kappa Phi for “those with GPAs higher than 3.75.
“My graduation from college, for me, confirms that i completed what I started more than 50 years ago,” said Mullins. “I am happy.”
This past Saturday, Darlene participated in the school’s undergraduate commencement ceremony Saturday, and we’re extremely proud of her. Congratulations!
