STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Marijan Deda, Computer Technician
Marijan Deda, Mario to his friends, is a lifelong New Yorker. He had a good job as a doorman but felt stuck. Mario enrolled in CompTIA+ Computer Technician program at Lehman College to turn his interest in computers into a career. After completing the program, he joined Lehman’s IT department as a help desk technician. “I had a good job, but it wasn’t where I wanted to be. I’d been studying computer science and computers for a while and that’s what I wanted my path to be...what I really loved.” Read More
Lauren Grahman, BS (3 majors)
Lauren Graham graduated from the adult degree program at Lehman College in Fall 2021 with a degree in Anthropology, Biology, and Chemistry. She has been accepted into Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in Worchester for an accelerated Doctor of Pharmacy program with a $60,000 scholarship based on her academic achievements. Getting my degree after all of these years was such a good feeling. After years of working all of my random jobs, it made it feel like a blip because at the end of it I finally got what I wanted. For anyone who wants to do this, I’d say stop waiting and do it.
