Success at South College
Policing is very complex. To be successful, officers must constantly learn new ways of doing things. South College provided the opportunity for me to learn from the past so that I can be a part of how the future is changed.
The thing we like most about attending South College is the amazing instructors we have had who encourage us in school, help whenever needed, and always go the extra mile for their students. If we decide to further our degree we are going to come back to South College.
The desire to learn has been a driving force in my adult life, and the decision to continue my education at South College was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Every day I apply knowledge and skills that were taught and reinforced in the South College Criminal Justice Program.
