If you visit Durham College (DC) for Spring Open House on Saturday, April 12, you’ll learn what thousands of current students and alumni already know; there’s no better place to pursue your post-secondary education. “Everyone at DC wants to see you succeed,” said Sarah Burgess, a second-year student in the Accounting – Business program. “The school is very inclusive and helpful to all students.” It was DC’s excellent reputation, combined with glowing reviews from friends and family, that enticed her to check it out. A visit to Open House in 2023 made her decision to enroll an easy one. At these events, both Oshawa and Whitby campuses open their doors to visitors to explore and discover everything DC has to offer. That includes expert faculty delivering career-driven programs, state-of-the-art facilities, supportive services and much more. For third year Graphic Design student Samantha Miele, DC has lived up to expectations. “My professors are knowledgeable, resourceful, friendly and very supportive. The services offered at DC and the connections you’re able to make are valuable during and after your time studying,” she said. “Students should take advantage of all of the services, coverage, facilities and events that DC provides and get involved whenever they can.” Miele has taken her own advice to excel both in and out of the classroom. She has gained real-world experience through a field placement with the Communications and Marketing team, putting her graphic design skills to work on a number of projects. DC is a great choice for students anywhere, but it’s especially beneficial for those living in the Durham Region. Kevin Thomas chose DC after a visit with his high school, and the first-year Computer Programming and Analysis student couldn’t be happier. “I’m learning what I want to learn and I’m gaining skills for my future,” he said. “The professors I’ve met are really nice, cool people to talk to, and the place gives such an amazing vibe.” Students who are planning their futures can experience that vibe, and everything else that’s great about DC, at Spring Open House on Saturday, April 12. Register today and take charge of your future! Police Foundations student wins $5,000 Durham College tuition credit Posted on October 29, 2024 at 1:46 pm. First-year Police Foundations student James Fluri is the lucky winner of a $5,000 tuition credit from Durham College (DC). The annual contest is open to all Durham College applicants who register for campus events such as Open House, Program Information Nights and even scheduling a one-on-one appointment with the Start at DC team. Fluri was entered into the draw after taking a campus tour earlier this year and announced as the winner on October 28. The Oshawa resident said he was surprised and excited to win the draw. Durham College President Dr. Elaine Popp met with Fluri and his parents Jim and Christina Fluri and congratulated them. “Education really does transform lives, it gives you opportunities – doors will open that weren’t there before so consider it a gift and an investment in yourself and make the most of it,” said Popp. “I’m very excited about it,” said Fluri. “It’s going to help me go after what I want to do and I’m excited for this opportunity.” Christina Fluri said when they first found out their son won, they couldn’t believe it, but when the news sunk in, it felt great to know that the prize means he will save $5,000 in potential student debt. She said her son has wanted to be a police officer since he was four-years-old and she still has a picture of a police car he drew in kindergarten. Before starting at DC, he was an honour roll student in high school. “We’re proud of him,” she said. Fluri said he’s excited about pursuing his goal of becoming a police officer and he’s enjoying his program, which he started in September. “It’s something that really interests me and something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time so Police Foundations is a great way to get into that,” he said.
