It’s back to school for two successful Durham College Alumni Posted on April 1, 2015 at 2:36 pm. Oshawa, Ont. – Two prestigious Durham College (DC) alumni are returning to campus on Tuesday, April 7 to share how they followed their passions toward successful careers. After graduating from DC in 2008, Amanda de Souza, designer and professor, followed her dream to New York City (NYC). Landing a successful career as the senior designer for W Magazine, de Souza also found success as an artist. One of her pieces, a decorated piano, was featured in NYC’s Central Park as part of a city-wide art exhibit. de Souza has a large portfolio of both graphic and contemporary art including a series based on The Simpsons characters. Mike Arsenault, broadcaster, The Weather Network and CBC, and author, graduated in 2008 from DC’s Sport Business Management program. Arsenault played semi-pro baseball before moving into sports feature writing and sports news writing. His writing career took off in 2012, with the publication of his first book, 60’6″: Balls, Strikes, and Baseball Mortality. Currently he works as an on-camera presenter and field reporter for The Weather Network and CBC. Glimpse into the lives of two former DC students who before achieving great accomplishments once stood right where our students stand now – with a dream, an education and the drive to succeed.
