Bouyer, who has spent the past 25
years in the criminal justice system as a licensed counselor
specializing in drug and alcohol counseling, earned his
bachelor’s degree in 1982 from Saginaw Valley State College
and his masters’ degree from the University of Toledo in
2003 in counseling and education.
His dissertation research was on
“African-American Males’ Ideas about School Success.” Bouyer
investigated how a group of African-American males whose
success is regularly ignored experienced educational success
in high school and life success after graduating high
school.
His research focused on how
African-American males were able to navigate through the
educational; environment; what mattered and motivational
factors were influencing them to complete high school; what
expectations they had after graduating high school; how they
describe academic success and how they perceive graduating
high school as changing society’s perception of them.
Bouyer’s family and friends celebrated
his success at dinner on December 10 in formal attire and
splendor.
