Arizona State University graduate student Anthony Lawrence got a taste Dec. 11 of what his future life could be like when he strapped into the back seat of an F-16D Fighting Falcon at Luke Air Force Base in Glendale. Lawrence earned his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice in May, received his private pilot’s license in 2016, and played football for the Sun Devils as a walk-on that same year. He was also an active member of the Pat Tillman Veterans Center outreach team and an Air Force reservist. Lawrence met ASU alumnus Brig. Gen. Todd Canterbury, the 56th Fighter Wing commander at Luke, during ASU’s Salute to Service week in November. Canterbury subsequently invited Lawrence to fly, something the service does as part of the Air Force’s Orientation Flight Program. Currently, Lawrence is an online graduate student in the Homeland Security program with the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions at Arizona State University.
