As I will be graduating on the 26th of July, I just wanted to thank my admissions rep – Paul Rizzuto for helping me with everything, from being the first person I’ve had contact with for enrolling me in the college and giving me advice when I needed it most regarding the paths that were available to me throughout my time here. The journey I had at the school was phenomenal and I’ve learned so much that it helped me kick-start my career in the best direction possible.
