Where Three Roads Began...

Good evening, friends…

How many of you are earning your degree in Liberals Arts?  Do you know what you are going to do afterwards?  Go into the work force?  Go onto to a four-year university or college?  Don’t know yet?  Well, have we got a talk for you, then.  Come virtually or in person on Friday, from 5:00 – 6:00 to listen to three speakers talk about how they walked the very path you are on.

Let’s face it, a Liberal Arts Degree from a Community College is sometimes a catch-all for students who aren’t quite sure what career they want to pursue.  For others, it’s a way to complete general education requirements before continuing on to a four-year institution (and beyond) for more focused study.  Regardless of why a Liberal Arts degree is chosen, the path from that degree to a job and a career is sometimes a meandering one and sometimes leads in unexpected directions.  Join three alumni of FLCC as they talk about the choices they made and the places it led, and is still leading, them.

Cheyenne works as a social services assistant at the VA and lives in Geneva.  She has done various things in between her graduation and her current position.  Jeff is an instructional designer at FLCC.  After earning his liberal arts degree here, he went on to get his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from Buffalo State.  He currently lives in Fairport with his family.  Mandi Brown is currently a Technology Clerk for the Launch Pad at Buffalo & Erie County Public Library.  She, too, has done a number of other things between graduating and what she does now.  She currently lives in Buffalo.

All of these are valuable, valid, and worthwhile uses of an Associates degree and perfectly acceptable ways of being in the world.  And they are worth hearing about, too.

So, join us!  T-shirts available for all FLCC students who attend!  (Will be mailed to those who attend virtually).

Three very different people.

Three very different journeys.

Three very different results.
