Dallas College Newsroom

While attending college, using alcohol and other drugs seem to be a popular and even social norm for droves of students. However, substance use can create problems at school, work and home.

Antoine Silvers Jr. moved from Virginia to Texas with his family in search of better opportunities and a more stable environment, eventually enrolling at Dallas College and becoming a first-generation college student. He credits his grandmother's resilience and the support of mentors for helping him overcome challenges and stay focused on his goals. While studying accounting and business, Silvers hopes to play professional basketball and build a legacy as a mentor, businessman and role model.

This marks the college's second four-year degree program. A Bachelor of Applied Science in Early Childhood Education and Teaching (B.A.S. ECE) launched in 2020.

Studying abroad is a life-changing experience for students as they explore and immerse themselves in different countries and cultures. Zoe Phillips experienced those benefits as she works toward a bachelor’s degree at Kansai Gaidai University in Hirakata, Japan.

One of our institution's strategic priorities is to reduce income disparity in our communities by targeting underserved populations and providing educational opportunities that lead to high-demand jobs.
