Meet Ben, a committed virtual student pursuing his Associate Degree in Business Administration at Plaza College. Ben began in our Academic Bootcamp and is now earning his High School Equivalency and Associate’s degree simultaneously through Career Pathways. The flexible nature of the Business program has allowed him to balance full-time work, caring for his daughter, and his academic responsibilities. Ben, who returned to school after a significant break, found Plaza College’s supportive environment to be crucial to his success. He credits the faculty and staff, particularly Director Cohn, Director Nixon, and his professors, for their unwavering encouragement, especially during the difficult time following the loss of a parent. Ben’s commitment to his education is driven by his desire to be a role model for his daughter, pushing him to excel academically and personally. He is highly regarded by his professors for his active participation and thoughtful contributions in class, with Professor Eder noting his role in creating a positive learning atmosphere. Ben’s dedication, resilience, and strong work ethic serve as an inspiration to his peers, and he is poised for success in both his career and life.
