Meet Megan Trahan, who will be completing her associate degree in Marketing. She originally started at ACC in 2004 but started this degree path in spring 2022. The 41-year-old says it was the accessibility of ACC that allowed her to get to this day.<\/p>\n

Hear more about her story below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How does it feel to be graduating?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am beyond enthusiastic, grateful, and proud.<\/p>\n

What was your favorite part of ACC?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The reassurance and ability to succeed, tutoring availability.<\/p>\n

Any faculty or staff you want to recognize supporting you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

All my professors really. I know I emailed all of them continuously and always received replies. My main professor would be Nicholas Sarantakes. I would also like to consider Jay Thibedoax, James Sondergrath, Richard Croxdale, Deborah Gilmore, and Gloria Evans.<\/p>\n

What is next for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am currently pursuing my career goal as a Hospice Community Liaison Marketer with hopes of becoming a regional manager in the future.<\/p>\n

What would you tell someone considering applying for college?<\/strong><\/p>\n

DO IT! I have been consistently bragging about ACC and how if you try you cannot fail with ACC. The support and availability makes it an achievable goal that should not be passed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
