"As a non-traditional student, I felt like an outsider. Everyone in my class was literally half my age. I hadn’t stepped foot in a classroom in over two decades. I have learned so much during my time at EMCC. Obviously, I’ve learned everything necessary to receive my degree in Criminal Justice. But I’ve also learned to fail gracefully. I’ve learned to be confident in my abilities. I’ve learned to accept my successes. But most importantly, I learned that success is not something I could achieve on my own. It’s those around me who offer help and support that are truly instrumental in anything that I will ever achieve."

"I am trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up! I have always worked jobs in the healthcare field off and on for 11 years and I want to try something different. This has brought me to Emergency Medical Services. I enjoy the fast-paced work and helping people in my community. I couldn’t have done this without a great education from EMCC."
