Andrea packer anticipates graduating with a B.A. in Education from Catawba in December 2011 and then enrolling in the Master of Arts in teaching program from Salem College, also offered on the Davidson campus. Packer spends her day on the Davidson campus working 29 hours a week as a teaching assistant for instructors in the DCCC Early Childhood Education Program.

“not only did receiving this scholarship make me study harder and be the best I could be, but it also allowed me to graduate in May 2010 with my associate degree totally paid for,” she said “I couldn’t believe I have my first degree, and I was debt free. What a wonderful blessing!”

Since august 2010, packer, 20, has been working toward her bachelor’s degree in early childhood education form Catawba College, and she doesn’t have to leave DCCC’s Davidson Campus to do so. She said she likes the convenience of leaving her teaching assistant’s job in one DCCC building and walking only steps to her evening Catawba classes where she is taking history, statistics and education courses.

With a 3.602 grade point average for the fall 2010 semester and cumulative basketball point total of 765 as of Feb. 18h, hunt’s academic excellence and athletic abilities attract attention. Recently, he caught the attention of recruiters from the University of Northwestern Ohio who offered him a full scholarship there to play basketball.

He helps tutor other players who look up to him as an academic leader, he communicates well with other students as well as the storm fans, and he represents DCCC as well wherever he goes.” Hunt graduated from riverside high school in Durham before enrolling at DCCC.
