Husband-wife team crosses stage together

James and Sandra Ann Barbeau crossed the stage together, received their diplomas together and even posed for the traditional edge-of-stage portrait together.

Only natural, when you consider the Two Rivers couple has been married two years and tied the knot about the time they enrolled in UW-Green Bay’s Adult Degree Program for returning adult learners. They met while students at Lakeshore Technical College.

The Barbeaus graduated through the Bachelor’s of Applied Studies program, which awards University-level credit for tech-school preparation and involves completion of a liberal arts bachelor’s through online or on-campus participation.
