Dallas College had 5,012 students walk the graduation stage this past summer. Seeing students fulfill their educational dreams and learn the skills necessary to enter the workforce is a big part of what Dallas College does.
But the college does more than that, which is sometimes lost in the shuffle of the daily grind. As we wind down 2022 and look ahead to 2023, there’s no better time to reflect on everything the college has accomplished in the classrooms and beyond.
These numbers showcase just why it’s so rewarding to work for Dallas College.
