It didn't take long for Ken Damphousse to sign up to enroll for his bachelor's degree once his alma mater began offering them.

The South Lyon resident re-enrolled at Schoolcraft College in 2015, just a month after hearing the Livonia school would offer bachelor's degrees in culinary arts. 

"They sent me a letter in July of 2015 and I was signed up in August," he said. "I was on a fast track."

Less than two years later, Damphousse made history: he's the first person to graduate from Schoolcraft College with a bachelor's degree.

Damphousse had always wanted to go back and get his bachelor's degree — he earned his associate's degree from Schoolcraft College back in 2008 — but seeing the high cost of tuition made him wait.
