Olivia Williams ’19 is the first generation of her family to complete a college degree. “I had to put myself through college. It wasn’t an option for me, it was just something I had to do,” said Williams. “I’ve had to work all four years I attended college. During the past year, I’ve been working two jobs.” All of that hard work paid off. In addition to earning a Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice and a Certificate in Counterterrorism and Security from Husson University, Williams was named the valedictorian for the Class of 2019 with a perfect grade point average of 4.0. Raised in Kenduskeag, Maine, she was accepted to every law school she applied to. Next fall, she will be attending law school at William & Mary Law in Williamsburg, Virginia and focusing on criminal law.
