[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ain't a got dam thing wrong with Marshall.[/quote]

My friend just spent twenty five years as the Director of Track and Field at Marshall.   He had plenty of kids with great academic outcomes.   I suggested the school to some athletes who were not particularly great students, but who could (and did) thrive with increased maturity.  I reached out to the mother of an African American young woman who I suggested look at Marshall (a good 400 meter runner) when she finished with a pharmacy degree (along with a major in chemistry), and amidst all of the prestige concern on DCUM, I haven't run across a prouder parent, and rightfully so.  As my friend the Marshall coach says (a Chicago Heights Bloom grad), she is good people.

My issue with community college is not with the college or the path chosen.  The young person has to be willing to mature and focus.  There are all kinds of students at CC, so you have to be dedicated.   If students do the work, they will be likely be more successful than they can imagine.  [/quote]
