As the old African adage goes “It takes a village to raise a child” and so I am ever grateful to my family, friends, and faculty mentors for their support. I especially thank my personal “cheerleaders”, my wonderful children, family, and colleagues. And to my faculty family, I can’t thank the MWCC Nursing Department enough, especially all my lecture and clinical instructors. I would like to specifically thank my Medical-Surgical clinical instructor, Cindy Adams, who exemplified the greatest virtues of a consummate nurse.

After graduating high school I enrolled at MWCC because I was unsure what I wanted to major in. I intended to simply get some transferable credits while I figured out what to be when I grew up. Early on I took a programming course as an elective. Little did I know that was the start of my career. The faculty nurtured my curiosity and encouraged me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree after my Associate’s. At MWCC I learned all the fundamentals required to succeed in the field of software engineering. The CIS curriculum gives students a broad and solid foundation on which to build.

“MWCC gave me a solid foundation that I keep building on in all of my classes at UMASS Lowell. It was a smart idea to get my associate’s degree first. It helped me with jobs in the short run so I could get my bachelor’s degree and still work full time.” Jose went on to earn a BS in Mechanical Engineering at UMass Lowell.

My Natural Resources degree gave me the skills and knowledge to launch my career with the Department of Conservation and Recreation and truly helped me excel. I get to work outside and it is such a joy knowing I got where I am today because of MWCC.
