Success Stories: Ben Pohl

Ben Pohl spent his sophomore and junior years in high school working with his father on his first car, a 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle that had sat unused in a barn for 15 years. But after earning a bachelor's degree in recreational therapy and holding a series of prestigious jobs, he discovered he wasn't happy. Pohl came to College of DuPage after discovering the Automotive Technology program and loved what he found. Currently he is finishing a second bachelor's degree at Southern Illinois University that will prepare him for a new career that reflects his passion for cars.

Success Stories: Violet Jackson

Violet Jackson was disheartened while trying to find a job with a high school diploma, because positions either required an associate's or bachelor’s degree. As an adult student coming to college for the first time, Jackson felt like a person, not a number, at College of DuPage. Having received multiple COD Foundation scholarships, she is pursuing degrees in both Office Technology Information and Computer Information Systems.
