The Century College Alumni Association Board of Directors has named Peter Fischer the 2013 Century College Outstanding Alum. He gave the commencement address to Century graduates on May 17 at Aldrich Arena.
A Maplewood resident and a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives serving his first term, Fischer was the student body president at Lakewood Community College, a forerunner of Century College, in the late 1970s, a time of dramatic social change. It was at Lakewood that Fischer resolved to spend his life helping people make their voices heard.
