“My instructor helped inspire me with his teaching...I was able to take what I learned with his classes and apply them in the design of two websites for which I was compensated.” - Kurt Roderick (Web & Graphic Design student)

”The Non Profit Certificate Program has allowed me to go from viewing my concept for Our Gang Community Works Inc. as a dream to knowing that this is about to happen. Whether it's the in-depth instruction, class role play or the valued information sharing, it has all been incredibly rewarding.” - Dion Ashman, CEO & Executive Director, Our Gang Community Works Inc.

“This financial literacy program at Medgar Evers College was above expectations.” - Fredian Campbell

”Ronnie not only met those expectations, she exceeded them.  We learned what happened on a typical day in the life of a publicist, as well as how to write a proper press advisory, and press release, how and when to conduct a press conference, how to format a plan/campaign and so much more.” - Melissa Maltese
 
“Concerning the website workshop (Website in a Day), I was not expecting I would be able to design a meaningful website after the workshop was over, but at the end of the workshop, I was surprised that the instructor was able to get the best out of me with his teaching ability… With the information that I acquired from that workshop, I was able to design and complete my first website two weeks ago.” – Steven Enigbokan

"I am a CASAC-T after successfully completing my 350 hours of classroom education requirement at Medgar Evers College - a place I highly recommend for the dynamic and interactive teaching sessions to anyone who wants to become a certified alcoholism and substance abuse counselor. I am now doing the required work experience hours at Kingsboro Addiction Treatment Center (ATC)." - Jesus Caicedo.
