Slide My experience as an international student at Durham College has been second to none. I have been so welcomed and supported here and I really feel that I belong in the DC community. I could not have made a better choice for my education. Tasharna Thompson-Henny, Project Management Slide I’m really thankful for all the opportunities that Durham College has given me, in terms of community work and working in the lab. They’re really setting me up for success, and I’m excited to see what the future holds. Chris Domfe, Practical Nursing Slide I have enjoyed participating in all that Durham College has to offer in both my Faculty and across campus. These opportunities have helped me meet amazing people, be an ambassador for DC and establish a strong network I will take as I enter my career. Jenifer Stewart, Carpentry and Renovation Technician Slide I’m better off now than I was before. I’ve learned quite a bit during my time here at DC that will prepare me. We have some awesome professors that help you. Shavine Johnson, Police Foundations
