Clayton State University
alumna Sheila Rambeck graduated from Georgia State
University’s College of Law this May. Rambeck, who
already has two degrees and a certificate from Clayton
State’s School of Technology, did not expect that she
would be receiving a fourth degree in law.
“Law had always been a background thought,” explains
Rambeck. “I had never actually pursued it.”
As a non-traditional student with a husband and a child,
Rambeck began her college career at Clayton State in
2000 to learn about marketing and advertising for her
internet business selling figure skating-themed gifts
and apparel.
“I don’t know that I would have gone back to school if
it wasn’t for the website,” says Rambeck. By 2001, she
had already earned a certificate in Marketing and
Merchandising followed by an Associate’s Degree in
Marketing/Management in 2002. She then graduated Magna
Cum Laude in 2003 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Technology
Management.
“These degrees build on each other,” says Dr. Benita
Moore, acting dean of the School of Technology. “The
certificate program allows the students to get the
skills and knowledge that they need to use in the
workforce. The associate’s and the bachelor’s programs
allow the students to gain more skills and knowledge
along with a more general education.”
While at Clayton State, Rambeck and two other Clayton
State graduates, Becky Gazaway Turner and Jamie Aker
Sanders, helped to develop the course, “Applied
Marketing on the Internet,” with Dr. Deborah S. Curlette,
retired Clayton State professor of Marketing Technology.
The course, which debuted in 2002, is still offered for
marketing students.
“She was a very bright, focused and organized student,”
shares Moore about Rambeck. “She was all those things
that make a good student.”
As a law student at Georgia State, Rambeck was treasurer
for the Christian Legal Society and a member of the Phi
Alpha Delta Law Fraternity. She plans to pursue a career
in criminal prosecution or work privately helping people
with their wills, trusts and estates.
Rambeck lives in Peachtree City with her husband, Steve,
and 14-year old son, Kevin.
