Gac Filipaj fled civil war in his native country of Yugoslavia and escaped to New York in 1992. Filipaj took a job as a janitor at Columbia University, and after learning English, took advantage of the 14 free credit hours a year offered along with his position. Tony Guida reports after 12 years of work-study, Filipaj has now graduated with a bachelor's degree in classics.
