Years after being told she "wouldn't have time to go back to school," a once discouraged and defeated Lindsay Flores is now proving otherwise.

While balancing work and raising a family, Lindsay is earning her Paralegal Certificate and Associate of Liberal Arts degree at JCCC—and is now considering law school as her next step.

With support from dedicated faculty and a scholarship that helped her purchase a laptop to continue her studies from home, Lindsay found the resources she needed to succeed.

Her advice to future Cavaliers? Take advantage of the support available.

"There is so much support available if you are willing to use it," she said. "JCCC has helped me realize there are no limits to what I can achieve."

JCCC students in a History of Fashion course applied what they learned in the classroom by creating an on-campus display showcasing historical American and French fashion. Then, they took their learning even further on a faculty-led study away trip to Paris.

"The entire city of Paris became the students' fashion history textbook," said Britt Benjamin, JCCC Professor of Fashion. "Whether they're curating a display on campus or exploring abroad, these experiences engage students beyond the classroom and deepen their understanding in ways that stay with them long after the course ends."

By combining hands-on projects with immersive learning opportunities, JCCC helps students gain real-world experience and a deeper understanding of their field. Read the full story:
