200 CollegeAmerica Students Prepare for Graduation and Take One More Step Toward Successful Future

DENVER, CO, June 15, 2011 (Press-News.org) Graduates from CollegeAmerica will don caps and gowns Saturday, June 18, to receive their college diplomas. The graduates join the thousands of alumni who have received career training from CollegeAmerica through degree programs in business, graphic arts, healthcare, and information technology.

Among the outstanding graduates is Jeanean West. Jeanean is the first person in her family to attend college. While earning her degree, Jeanean had to overcome personal obstacles after losing her job and struggling to make ends meet. She persevered, and considers school one of the best choices she has made in her life so far. Jeanean earned an occupational associate's degree in medical specialties and was hired at a local medical office after completing her externship there. Her advice to other students is to keep believing in yourself no matter what life throws at you, and you will accomplish your goals.

"These graduates have worked hard to earn their degrees and now they are ready to take the next step toward success in the workplace and in life. Earning a college degree takes dedication and a personal investment; these students made the commitment on top of working full-time jobs, raising families, or dealing with personal obstacles, and they should be really proud of their accomplishments," said Nathan Larson, executive director of CollegeAmerica, Denver.

The ceremony will be held at the historic Paramount Theatre in downtown Denver. There are 200 students in the graduation class.
