Every road to a college degree looks a little different. In Kereen’s case, she had always been an outstanding studentbut because her young family needed a paycheck, she dropped out of school in order to work full time A decade later, she decided to return to school to become a teacher, and last spring, Kereen graduated with honors! It is a privilege to have her in our vast, talented City College community, along with so many other students who share her desire for a life of engagement and purpose, fueled by a quality education. Please support them by supporting City College this holiday season! https://giving.ccny.cuny.edu/page.aspx?pid=298
