Success Stories: Bella Kelly

Bella Kelly was born into music. Attending College of DuPage made sense financially and academically as she was named a Presidential Scholar, which includes full tuition and enrollment in the Honors program and Phi Theta Kappa. While at COD, Kelly had the opportunity to participate in a study abroad trip to France and gave a short recital at an annual festival, which she considered the best experience of her life.

Success Stories: Ernest Daunter

In 2013, Ernest Daunter was diagnosed as diabetic and hypertensive. He weighed 350 pounds and was in a career that created stress on a daily basis. Given Daunter’s family history, his doctor started prescribing medicine on the assumption that these were lifetime conditions. Instead, Daunter took charge of his life--first his health and then his career, entering the Physical Therapist Assistant program at College of DuPage.

Success Stories: Laura Pekarik

Laura Pekarik’s recipe for success combines entrepreneurship and philanthropy in a personal way. Her Courageous Bakery and Cafe in Elmhurst is home to Cupcakes for Courage, where a portion of the proceeds go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the Ride Janie Ride Foundation and other local nonprofit organizations. The initiative began when Laura’s older sister Kathy was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins T-cell lymphoma in 2010.
