Student Experiences

Marcia L. Boyd

CT Technologist, Preferred Imaging

"The instructors are top-notch. It says something when an employer asks where you went to school, and when Dallas College is the answer, there are no further questions!!"

Radiologic Sciences

Marcus Jackson Sr., RRT

Director of Respiratory Therapy Methodist Mansfield Medical Center

"My education has allowed me to support my family. If we were talking about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, it would be one of the foundational experiences that have allowed me both to meet basic needs and to expand my passions in other areas of life such as ministry."

Respiratory Care Program

Margaret Chambers, RID, ASID

Owner, Chambers Interiors & Associates Inc.

"The best part of my experience was that it was all practical — everything I would need to know and do as an interior designer, not just theory. We really learned the nitty-gritty of being a professional interior designer, and after graduating I felt very ready to go out and practice the profession. I don’t think I could have done justice to my clients without going through this program."

Interior Design

Margaret Lembcke

Health Information Associate II, Parkland Health and Hospital System, Dallas and Baylor Medical Center at Irving

"There’s not a thing I don’t use from the information I learned in the Medical Front Office program. The classes did a very good job of teaching skills that we’d really need. We were always learning from people who have worked in the field, not just learned information in a classroom."

Medical Front Office

Maria Gracia-Esquival

Senior Program Manager Spear One

"I don’t think I could have opened doors on my own for a meetings job that I love. The skills acquired through the HEEM program ensured my success."

Hospitality Management

"Dallas College not only gave me a second chance at an education and career, but it gave me a second chance at life,” Maris said. “I want to inspire people with my story and to never doubt yourself."

Mathematics (Math)

Mark Brown, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor of Molecular Oncology Department of Clinical Sciences, Colorado State University

"As a LeCroy scholar, I learned to be bold and much more: Ask questions. Don't make assumptions. Be open-minded. Stick to your values but don't push those values on others. It now gives me the greatest pleasure to give that back as a mentor."

Biology/Ecology

Mark Powell, RN

Registered Nurse, Emergency Department Baylor University Medical Center

"Nursing is not a career to take lightly. This program gave me a foundation of skills that allowed me to build on my life experience and go forward with a new career."

Nursing

Marla Smith

Student ambassador, School of Education

"What surprised me the most about Dallas College was that a Bachelor of Applied Science in Early Childhood Education and Teaching is offered. Both my mother and father went to college but never earned a degree, which means I will be the first to earn a bachelor’s degree."

Education Courses and Teaching Degrees

Marques G. Washington

CADD Program Coordinator and Faculty

"Mike Kirkpatrick was one of my favorite professors, and my favorite CADD class was 3-D modeling. Now I’m the CADD program coordinator and a faculty member. What I love about my job is helping students who start out not being able to draw anything, then go on to four-year universities or get good jobs."
