Dallas College

Student Experience: Bryant Aragon

 “While taking coursework (at North Lake Campus), I first served on the North Lake (Real Estate) Advisory Board as a student representative.

“There I made a connection with a board member/program graduate with Habitat for Humanity. I acted in a community liaison role and was later transitioned to run their contractor trainee program. 

“Due to my coursework, I was familiar with the process of loan acquisition, affordable housing programs and energy-efficient housing. Through networking with the resources made available through the courses and bonus activities, I met and was offered my current position with Hilti. 

“I owe my success to my North Lake education and will continue to take commercial real estate courses offered by North Lake."

Bryant Aragon attended Dallas College North Lake Campus and earned a certificate in Real Estate. Bryant continues to attend courses at North Lake Campus.

They had such a wealth of knowledge, which really translated for me into this deep knowledge for foods and flavors and science. If I had not pursued this education, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
