Student Experiences – Dallas College

Adam Carpenter

Medical Laboratory Technology student, El Centro

"My professors in Health Profession Readiness courses were all very helpful and ready to help me actually learn the information and not just memorize it. The professors at El Centro are willing to put in the work and effort to help their students pass their courses and get closer to completing their degree."

Health Professions Readiness

Angie Nabors

Owner at Stratevent

"Be a sponge! Learn all different facets of events and understand different perspectives. In corporate events you often have a wide variety of key players in making an event come to life - all the way from executives to the labor staff helping bring the event or show to life. Learn from them all and understand each of their objectives to meet your goals."

Hospitality Management

Loretta Allen

Director, Global Accounts Omni Hotel

"The great thing about Richland’s program is that the classes are taught by people in the industry. They say, ‘Here’s what the book says, but here’s what’s real-life.’ That program really gave me the footwork to understand how things work in the hospitality industry. With their internships, you get the chance to actually take part in the industry."

"The game design program dropped right in front of me. Class was basically just informal hands-on, one-on-one time with the teacher. We looked at games, played them and analyzed them. The small classes are also a strong point at Richland."
