Student Success Stories
"The TRIO department at DC3 is something that I will never forget about. I was a student athlete & it wasn’t easy keeping up with classes sometimes. TRIO services helped me out so much. I was able to meet with my advisor weekly to go over certain material for the different classes I was taking. If I needed help TRIO was there for me. My advisor was really nice & when it came to graduating she made sure I was on track to get my degree. My advisor knew many of the professors, so she gave me a layout on how they ran their classes and what to expect. The goals we set throughout the semester were always achievable. One of the biggest things TRIO helped me with was the use of the laptops & the iPads (now computer lab). This helped me succeed in the classroom because I was able to have access to the course materials online. I am truly thankful for the TRIO services at DC3. They care about the students needs and work hard to help them succeed in achieving their goals & graduate. With the assistance I received from TRIO I was able to continue my education at Southwest Minnesota State University and graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education with an Emphasis on Recreation and Coaching." - Nikki Atwood

"Hello, my name is Kierra Johnson. TRIO at DCCC helped me to accomplish getting my Associate's Degree. I had a 1-year-old son at the time. I was able to do track, be a full-time student, and be a mom. Now that I am done with my Associates Degree, I am working on a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I will be the first one in my family to receive a Bachelors Degree. I have DCCC, TRIO and the people I have come across while being there to thank for helping me reach my educational goals!" - Kierra Johnson

"Hello, my name is Noe Cervantes. I was a student-athlete at Dodge City Community College. The TRIO department at DC3 was very helpful for me. They helped me get through my classes with outstanding grades and also by helping me to achieve my goals by going to a University with full credits and a good GPA. With their support my teammates and I were named “Cross County Scholar All-American Team”. One big reason I enjoyed TRIO was that they also cared about what I would do outside of school. They supported me by going to all my home soccer games and by going to my races. I wouldn’t consider them just my counselors or a source of help, I consider them family and thanks to them I am where I want to be in my life....."SUCCESSFUL".” - Noe Cervantes

"I was a student-athlete at Dodge City Community College from Fall 2014 to Spring 2016. The TRIO department was very useful to me during my time in Dodge City. I would visit my TRIO Advisor/Counselor at the beginning of each semester and set goals for my courses. I would then meet with her periodically throughout the semester to reevaluate my courses and make sure that I was still in a position to reach the goals I had set. TRIO also provided use of their computer lab when I couldn’t afford to purchase a computer of my own, so that I could complete work required for one of my courses. I am extremely grateful for the assistance I received from the TRIO department at DC3 and the effort they put in to help me succeed!"
