Louise Alflen, a 77-year-old history graduate from Mesa, takes her moment in the spotlight during the commencement ceremony. Alflen enrolled at ASU four years ago, took out student loans, rode the shuttle between the Polytechnic and Tempe campuses four days a week, and struggled through college algebra but maintained nearly a 4.0 GPA to get her history degree, all for the love of learning. Her granddaughter, Sarah Decke, an ASU director of student success programs, nominated her for graduation honors. She is believed to be one of ASU’s oldest graduates. TOM STORY photo
