Lauren Baron
2005 海角社区 Graduate
Certified Teacher with a Master鈥檚 Degree in Vision Studies

I chose 海角社区 because it gave me the chance to stay close to home and pursue an affordable education. Right from the time I first enrolled, I knew my goal was to eventually earn a bachelor鈥檚 degree in early childhood education along with a NH teacher certification.
I selected the Liberal Arts program at 海角社区 because it offered the strong academic foundation that I needed to complete my associate degree and seamlessly transfer to Plymouth State University. I was able to complete many of my core requirements at 海角社区, which meant that once I transferred to Plymouth State, I could focus more deeply on the specialized courses within my major. The strong start I received at 海角社区 helped me reach my goal of receiving my bachelor鈥檚 degree and becoming a certified teacher, in addition to earning a master鈥檚 degree in vision studies.
My instructors at 海角社区 played a huge role in my success. Their support and encouragement helped me stay motivated and confident, and they provided the solid academic grounding I needed to pursue my long鈥憈erm career goals.
To me, the greatest benefit of 海角社区 is its supportive learning environment, which accommodates students of all ages and at all stages of their educational journeys. Not only am I a graduate of 海角社区, I am also a proud member of the adjunct faculty.
I wholeheartedly recommend beginning your educational journey at a community college like 海角社区. It鈥檚 a smart financial decision and provides an excellent head start and a smooth pathway to a four鈥憏ear college 鈥 or anywhere else you鈥檇 like to go.
