Honors College alumna Maya Huffman, a native of Toledo, graduated a semester early from ºÚÁÏÍø in December 2022, as a double major in psychology and political science with a minor in pre-law. Her story is not only one of academic achievement but also one of community engagement and a commitment to addressing important societal issues.
