A DeKalb County prosecutor and a Centers for Disease Control & Prevention employee will be honored in March as "remarkable" alumni of Georgia State University.
The GSU Alumni Association has included Tyshawn Jackson (B.B.A. '05), a senior assistant district attorney in the Office of the DeKalb County District Attorney, as part of its 2023 class of remarkable alumni under the age of 40.
Also on the list is Arezoo Risman (MBA '15), a data modernization program coordinator who has worked at the CDC for more than a decade. Risman was previously recognized as one of the University of Georgia's 40 Under 40 Class of 2019.
Georgia State says it began its 40 Under 40 program in 2018 to celebrate influential and accomplished GSU graduates who embody the values of the university.
"These incredible Georgia State alumni are making their mark in every imaginable field," says Georgia State University President M. Brian Blake.
The alumni will be recognized at a March 31 reception and ceremony at The Foundry in Atlanta.
