In a short time, Olive-Harvey College became more than a place for Dijiona to earn college credits and play basketball. It became a place where she found support, built confidence, and achieved a milestone no Lady Panther had before.
Previously a doctor in Cuba, Roinel Sánchez Ge was working full-time as a phlebotomist at Northwestern Medicine when he decided to enroll at Kennedy-King College to improve his English. His passion for learning and his medical background motivated him to continue his education and pursue an associate degree in science.
“City Colleges of Chicago has been an open door for my future,” he said.
Roinel took advantages of several resources while pursuing his degree and regularly participated in events and on-campus activities at Kennedy-King. He graduated in May 2024 as salutatorian and is transferring to Touro University Illinois to complete its Physician Assistant Program.
“City Colleges of Chicago helped me to identify the best way to reach my goals,” said Roinel.
