Dream comes true for late-in-life grad By Pam Kragen - The San Diego Union-Tribune Zsuzsanna Dianovics of Del Mar, California, has been named the Dean’s Outstanding Graduate for the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics at Cal State San Marcos with a computer science degree in cybersecurity. SAN DIEGO – Zsuzsanna Dianovics was 7 years old when her family moved to the U.S. from Hungary. From an early age, she remembers her mom insisting that one day Zsuzsanna would make the family proud as a first-generation college student. But when Dianovics was attending university in Illinois in the mid-’90s, she got pregnant and was forced to drop out of college at age 21. Four years later, she was a single mom with two children and was bartending and waiting tables to support her young family. She never gave up on college, but it became a dream that would have to wait.
