Our graduates probably say it best.
Here's how we helped them build bridges to their future:

“I checked out other colleges and Clinton Community College’s drafting program was exactly what I wanted. I have a young son and I needed to find a good job. The instructor was willing to work with me, the schedule worked really well and the curriculum was great. Bruce (CCC’s drafting instructor) helped me find a job so I was able to start working right after I graduated.”
Courtney Buikema
CAD Operator/ Field Inspector, IMES Engineering

 

“Clinton Community College thoroughly prepared me for my career as a nurse practitioner. When I started college, I knew I wanted to get my bachelor’s degree, so it was extremely important that I perform well academically right from the start. I was very happy with the knowledge I received from CCC’s instructors. The combination of classroom and clinical learning experience helped us all get ahead. Small class sizes combined with good instruction, so after my first year, I was ready to go all the way to earning my master’s degree!”
Kim Mulholland
Nurse Practitioner, Medical Associates

 

“SCC had everything that a larger university had except the large price tag. The first factor that drew me to SCC was the cost of community college when compared to a university. I took the General Education classes like English, math, speech and science that are required at any four-year university. These classes were also very easy to transfer on to a four-year university. Another factor was the smaller class sizes and the one-on-one relationship between the teacher and the student. Overall, my experience at SCC has helped me pursue the career and dream of forecasting the challenging weather of the Quad Cities.”
Kris Oetzmann
KWQC-TV6 Meteorologist

 

“Just out of high school, I knew if I wanted to make something of myself, I needed an education to enter the working world. I did not want to move into a dorm room in the typical college town. Large auditorium-style classrooms of 50+ people did not appeal to me, and I wanted to attend evening classes, so I could work during the day to pay for my education. Scott Community College offered me the flexibility and opportunity I needed for an associate degree in Business Administration. I took that degree, added a B.A. in Business from St. Ambrose University, and before I knew it, I was director of mall marketing for SouthPark Mall.”
Lysa Hegland
Director of Mall Marketing for SouthPark

 

“The smartest thing I ever did was to get involved in the TRIO program at Scott Community College. After taking two years off after high school, I decided to enroll at Scott. At first I didn’t know if I’d make it, but I became involved with the people in TRIO and made lasting relationships. We are like family now. I’ve received great encouragement here, and now I don't want to leave. But I feel stronger and I have grown. I’m ready to go on to St. Ambrose to complete my Business degree. I'm proud to say I
went to SCC!
Marguerite White
SCC transfer student

 

“I started as a shop laborer with Sears Manufacturing Company right out of high school. After several years, I decided to work towards a degree in Industrial Engineering. SCC was a stepping-stone toward my goal. I started at Scott Community College and completed my degree at St. Ambrose. As I progressed through my education (on a part-time basis) I saw new doors open for me that otherwise wouldn't have. I attribute much of my professional success to my educational background.”
Steve Lovejoy,
Director of Operations
Sears Manufacturing Co.

 
"Choosing SCC's Microcomputer Information Technology program is the smartest thing I've ever done because now I have greater confidence in myself and I am a better role model for my kids. I'm ready for the workplace in all aspects."

2004 graduate
