From Kim Delker, UNM Newsroom: "To say Christopher DeGraw took a slightly different path to becoming an engineer would be an understatement.
The Connecticut native earned a bachelor’s in music education and a master’s in musicology (from Ithaca College and the University of Limerick in Ireland, respectively), then was an elementary and middle school band teacher in Connecticut and Las Vegas, Nevada, for nearly a decade before deciding to pursue an engineering degree at age 33."
