Whiz Kid Earns Degree

Jet, Jan 29, 2001

WHIZ KID EARNS DEGREE: Vincent Gibson Jr., 17, receives a hug from his mother, Cynthia Bizzell, after he received a bachelor of science degree in biology from North Carolina Central University (NCCU) in Durham, NC, during its commencement ceremony at the university's McLendon-McDougald Gymnasium.

Gibson is the youngest person, in recent history, to earn a degree from the university. Three years ago the whiz kid garnered national attention, at the age of 14, as a college junior when he attended the university with his mother (JET, Nov. 17, 1997). She earned a bachelor of arts degree the following year in family relations and child development.
