Any number of socioeconomic roadblocks may prevent underserved college students from fulfilling their higher education dream. As someone with a disadvantaged upbringing himself, Galen Dehay, President of Tri-County Technical College, believes circumstances shouldn’t define potential.
His administration has partnered with multiple nonprofits to give under-resourced students a chance at meaningful careers.
Galen shares how community collaboration and authentic engagement are setting up under-resourced students for success.
