Student Success – A Partnership That Works

Thanks to the overwhelming support of you, the local industry and the greater Dallas community, our over 10,000 program alumni now count among some of the most successful operators and leaders in town!

We can look to examples like Maricsa Trejo, whose La Casita Bakeshop is nominated as a James Beard semifinalist for Outstanding Bakery. Or Terance Jenkins, executive chef at Restaurant Beatrice, also nominated this year for Best New Restaurant in those vaunted awards! Or look to Michelle Tribble, now serving as executive R&D chef for Gordon Ramsay North America after appearing on and winning "Hell’s Kitchen All-Stars." And also look to new digital economy stand-outs like World Food Championship winner Preston Nguyen and social media influencer Tye Sule, who came from our dual-credit partner Dubiski Career High School in Grand Prairie and has over 761K followers on TikTok, 291K YouTube subscribers and 119K on Instagram.

These few examples represent all of our hardworking students and alumni who are among the most well-trained and dependable professionals in town and exemplify the fine work of the Dallas College faculty and staff team in creating student success!
