A 78-year-old Tucson woman will receive her GED tonight.

Mary Bowman is a great-grandmother who got married instead of finishing high school.

She said earning her GED has been on her wish list for a very long time, so she enrolled in the program.

Bowman is one of nearly 300 people who are being honored tonight by Pima Community College.

The ceremony is taking place at Tucson Convention Center Music Hall and begins at 7 p.m.
