Leige Doffoney and Lafaye Butler<br />
<strong>Harbor</strong>’s Rising Star<br />
<strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> <strong>Harbor</strong> <strong>College</strong> student Lafaye Butler was the recipient of the 2013 Rising Star Award at the<br />
2013 Orange County Global Women’s Conference on Friday, March 1, 2013.<br />
The Rising Star Award recognizes exceptional young women between the ages of 18 - 30 who are actively<br />
serving their community and/or are accomplishing great work within their field of interest.<br />
“I was so excited, I couldn’t believe I won. The other nominees were exceptional young women. This is truly<br />
an honor and an inspiration for me to continue to work hard moving forward to accomplish my goals. Being<br />
a student at <strong>Harbor</strong> <strong>College</strong> has changed my life. So many of the faculty and staff support and encourage me.<br />
I just want to make them proud as a way of saying thank you and this is my first step in doing so”. Lafaye stated.<br />
Leige Doffoney, former dean and transfer counselor at <strong>Harbor</strong> <strong>College</strong>, states that she nominated Lafaye for the<br />
award because, “Lafaye represents one of the best students that L.A. <strong>Harbor</strong> <strong>College</strong> has. She is going to change<br />
the world. She is our Rising Star. Despite many challenges and obstacles, she exceeds being a survivor. She is a<br />
winner! What a great role model.”<br />
The event was sponsored by Coastline Community <strong>College</strong> and was attended by more than 600 women<br />
from across the globe.<br />
Lafaye is a full-time student majoring in psychology with a passion for the performing arts. She is a member of<br />
Alpha Gamma Sigma Honor Society and plans to transfer to the University of Chicago in Fall 2014. She also works<br />
in the Office of Academic Affairs on campus.<br />
Lafaye says, “My ultimate goal is to open a counseling center and a housing facility for foster youth utilizing performing<br />
arts as a therapeutic means for healing. I would like to help others as much as others have helped me.”<br />
Congratulations, Lafaye.<br />
