When Brandon Smith's wife was six months pregnant with their second child, he rushed her to the hospital when she experienced excruciating pain in her abdomen. Thankfully, everything turned out well, and it was during his wife’s recovery that Smith began thinking about a career in nursing. Having earned associate and bachelor's degrees, he now works in the ER at AMITA Health Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village.

Success Stories: Aby Cardenas Arcila

Aby Cardenas Arcila had imagined making her own clothes since the age of 12. She chose College of DuPage because she was looking for schools with fashion programs that were also affordable. During her first summer in the program, she began to volunteer once a month at Bridal Boutique by New Name, which sells donated wedding dresses and uses the profits to support women who are victims of sex trafficking. Cardenas Arcila earned an Associate in Applied Science in Fashion Design and, in doing so, she was named one of the College’s Outstanding Graduate finalists.
