Why did you choose the UNI/DMACC 2+2 program?

I went to a larger college but it was not for me. I wanted to be closer to home so I decided to enroll in the UNI/DMACC program.

How has the program helped you professionally?

One benefit that I have gained through this program is that my school loans were decreased significantly because half of my classes were through DMACC.  I’m moving to Ankeny and will teach in the Des Moines area.

What opportunities did 2+2 open for you?

This program made me blossom into the person I am today. I found comfort in growing with my fellow classmates. Through the UNI program I became a leader and someone people could come to if they were having problems.
