Success stories

“My professor, Dr. Lauren Donovan, invited students to participate in a meeting with DCCC’s Business Advisory Board. At the meeting she connected me with local business leaders, including Rosati Water Ice owner Richard Trotter. Rich graciously offered me an internship. He allowed me to combine my marketing background as a realtor with knowledge gained in my DCCC business courses to take ownership of an email marketing campaign promoting the launch of a new Rosati business initiative.”

“Education in the U.S. is known all around the world. Studying in the United States doesn’t simply give you a substantial degree. Your experience says something in regards to your identity. Living in and examining the U.S. where your language isn’t spoken is challenging, requires bravery and an inspirational state of mind.”
