Have you ever taken a class or received a degree from a community college?
No. I personally have not taken a class at a community college, but have worked to support students of color and various identities at a community college to help them find a sense of belonging during their academics. The education that can be accessed at community colleges is invaluable for the affordable cost and experience that can be provided for the local population.
