Dallas College Newsroom

Dallas College serves many nontraditional students who balance full-time jobs, family responsibilities or both, while working toward their next chapter. Their resilience keeps them moving forward. This spring, many are celebrating major milestones, completing their studies and launching new careers.

As graduation approaches, many college students are reflecting on where they started and where they are headed next. For transfer students like Jaqueline Villalobos Torres and Tanim Azad, their time at Dallas College has been about more than earning credits. It’s been about growth, leadership and discovering new possibilities.
