In 2016, I moved up here [Philadelphia] and enrolled in CCP [Community College of Philadelphia] to get started. For me, the College has been beneficial in a way of just networking and getting concrete career goals. As far as the affiliation with professors here, I think of the Art Department in particular because I am an Art and Design major. So just having that staff, and their actual professional insight as well as their academic foundation has been insightful to me since I want to go into Art Management. After I graduate from CCP, I plan to transfer to Drexel University for Entertainment and Arts Management, with a Digital Concentration and minor in Social Entrepreneurship!

Editor’s Note: Jared plans to graduate in May 2018, and attend Drexel University in the fall
