(USGovernment-News.Com, June 04, 2016 ) Newark, NJ -- As reported by the Huffington Post, David Norman became the oldest graduating member of Columbia University's class of 2016 at 67 years of age. Norman overcame heroin addiction and a life of crime, which included a six year prison sentence for manslaughter. After rediscovering his love for learning and beginning a life skills program for transitioning back into society, Norman continued working to improve the lives of others, eventually coming to work for Columbia University. Despite limits placed on the number of courses university employees can take during a semester, David Norman completed his goal of gaining his Bachelor's Degree in Philosophy. He plans to continue working with Columbia University and write a book.
