It’s been great meeting students with the same goals who are just as driven as I am. It’s been a great environment to be a part of, and I’ve been presented with such great opportunities. Maya Austin, Police Foundations graduate, Class of 2024 The past two years have been an incredible learning experience. I’ve gained valuable knowledge and insights into the world of social work. Ajurenmisan Emiko, Social Service Worker graduate, Class of 2023 The campus is beautiful, the people are friendly, and it’s obvious the staff cares about my success. I also love the smaller class sizes at DC, they allow for a closer relationship between everyone in the classroom, allowing for genuine relationships.
