Student Spotlight: Karin Hartson
"I’ve always had the desire to become a nurse, but I didn’t know if it was something that I was capable of doing. But - I want to save a life. That’s what I strive to do. My experience at JCC thus far has been incredibly rewarding. I think that my professors are incredibly knowledgeable. They’ve always been very open - they have kind of an open-door policy if we ever need anything, if we ever have any questions."
Alumni Spotlight: John Lee
"I’m a graduate of the Maintenance Technician program at JCC. After graduating we had a job fair of five companies that came in, and we actually heard back almost immediately - interviews, job offers - right off the bat. SUNY really prepared me to get into my career by making me feel confident. Their teachers were fantastic, they were engaging, and they were helpful. I can’t stress it enough. JCC has really been a cornerstone in my life."
