Feature Alum: James Cannon
1973 B.A., 1974 M.S.
Municipal Court Judge, Dayton, Ohio
"I wouldn't be where I am today without Wright State."
When opportunity comes knocking, education opens the door, says the Honorable James Cannon. One of nine children, Cannon never had a chance to go to college until he retired from the military at the age of 39. That's when he enrolled at Wright State, where in four years he earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees. That feat opened the door to law school and later, a seat on Dayton's Municipal Court, where he has served as judge since 1987.
"I was an older student, but that didn't bother anyone. There were students of all ages," he says. "Wright State provided the opportunity to get started on my education and prepared me to take advantage of opportunities that came along."
Favorite WSU Memory: Fun times at the Rathskeller: It was a good place to hang out for a commuter student like me. I had some pretty good times down there.
Best Advice: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
