Mohawk Valley 社区 College

MVCC professors believed in me before I believed in myself, and now I feel that anything 是可能的. The work I did with Student Government and the community through MVCC have shown me the importance of working with and helping others, something that will help me for the rest of my life.

I served in the Army as a combat medic, and was deployed twice to Iraq. 因为 my PTSD I struggled being comfortable outside of my home. 有一些无形的东西 about MVCC - something I can’t describe - that made me feel confident and comfortable. Being president of Student Government showed me that MVCC isn’t just a place that can change you but it can also teach you how you can change the world.

I returned to school at age 52 after losing my job. 我从未获得过学位 任何形式的. I was very overwhelmed and feared failure. MVCC支持服务，如 as Adult 学习er Services, the 学习ing Center, and the Counseling Center, helped 我要成功. The faculty and staff at MVCC believed in me and were a key part 我的成功之旅.

Beyond everything I learned in class, my involvement in campus life also helped my 未来的职业. I learned how to run meetings, work collaboratively, and multi-task. I also had the privilege of being sent to the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities Conference, where I was exposed to all kinds of talent and acts, which helped me in my current role at NBC.
