Success Beyond Measure Alumnus finds second chance at WCC
S
teven Pritchett has a lot to be thankful for. At 48 he has found a career he loves, is poised to enter into graduate school and works in a field where he makes a difference in people’s lives every day. But his life hasn’t always been this good. Having once been in the same position as many of the clients he now counsels, Pritchett offers a unique understanding of many of life’s challenges. “I needed help once upon a time,” he said. Living in a shelter in downtown Ann Arbor while working as a dishwasher, the choice to continue his education came at the encouragement of the shelter director’s daughter. “She encouraged me in my www.wccnet.edu
education and told me what a good school Washtenaw Community College was.”
Dedication beyond measure With the decision to attend WCC made, Pritchett knew exactly what direction he wanted to take with his education. “Social work is my life’s journey,” he said. “It’s not about the money, it’s about giving back. My lifelong dream is to help children— they are our future. Too many people don’t want to take the time to show them that there is a better life out there.” His dedication to that journey would be tested
many times over the years, first when his mother fell ill and he had to leave school to help take care of her and again when he was in a car accident that resulted in a broken neck. Neither situation could stop Pritchett, who finished out his education at WCC while still wearing a Halo Brace to support his injury.
do,” Pritchett said. “WCC was like an extended family for me—that goes for the counselors all the way to the deans. The college changed my life.”
Through the college’s articulation agreement with Eastern Michigan University, Pritchett went on to earn his Bachelor of Social Work, graduating in April of 2012.
Job Outlook: Employment of social workers is projected to grow 19 percent from 2012 to 2022, faster than the national average. Social workers are employed in a variety of settings, including mental health clinics, schools, child welfare and human service agencies, hospitals and private practices.

or as long as Brandi Hinkley can remember, she’s loved taking pictures. And though she was rarely seen without a camera by her side, she wasn’t sure how to parlay her passion into a career. “After high school I attended a local four-year,” Hinkley said of her education before coming to Washtenaw Community College. “I realized the teaching style and class size there wasn’t the best fit for my learning style.” She explored graphic design, fine art and interior design. “I went to school for things I thought I wanted, but I felt like something was missing. I wasn’t satisfied.” That’s when she went back to her first love, photography.

“I had a few friends who had gone to WCC and taken photography classes so I did a little research on the program,” Hinkley recalled. “WCC offers such a wide variety of photo classes; you get to be in studio and on location. I knew it’s where I needed to be.”
Finding the prefect fit The Photography program at WCC prepares students to work in a variety of settings, including working as a photographer’s assistant, working in a photo lab, starting their own business and transferring to a fouryear art school. Students can tailor the program to their own interests by choosing specialized electives.
“For me, it was better to learn in a smaller environment,” Hinkley said of WCC’s campus atmosphere. “My instructors weren’t just teachers, they were also professionals in the industry. They were very hands-on.”
Dedicated to her dream Returning to college wasn’t an easy task for Hinkley, who was working two jobs while attending WCC. “It was a lot of hard work, but when you find something you love to do, you no longer view it as work but a passion,” she recalled. “It’s hard to stop when you’re that compassionate about something.” And she didn’t stop until she reached her ultimate goal, graduating with honors with an Associate

T
his past May, Washtenaw Community College took “out of classroom” experience to a whole new level. Having signed up for the college’s digital photography abroad class, students spent two weeks exploring the Moroccan countryside and culture. For photojournalism student Kimberly Borecki-Troiano it was a career-affirming experience. “I want to work in photojournalism and I thought this would be an amazing way to explore other cultures through photos,” said Borecki-Troiano, who received her Bachelor’s in Sociology and Criminology
www.wccnet.edu
in 2004 from Eastern Michigan University. She chose WCC for her training after deciding to make a career change in 2011. “This was a personal test to see if I could immerse myself into a culture and explore it on many different levels.”
One of a kind classroom Through a series of on-location shoots, lectures, critiques and digital imaging demonstrations, students in the Digital Photography Abroad class created portfolios revealing their impressions of Morocco. It was a once in a lifetime learning opportunity. “We feel strongly in our department that
international experience is important,” said WCC Digital Media Arts faculty member Terry Abrams. “Many of our students approach it as being ‘on assignment’; they view it as a capstone to their photo education and a great way to launch their career.”
Unlike anything else This isn’t the first time WCC students have made the trek abroad, having studied photography in Morocco previously in 2009 and Turkey in 2011, in addition to trips to Japan and Italy. Since 2001 the college’s radiology students have been working alongside worldrenowned archaeologists in Peru to document the LAUNCH
condition of mummies and artifacts found there. And students in the Culinary Arts program have been to France, Italy and England to study their craft. “These trips allow students to create portfolios that are completely unlike what other students are going to have,” Abrams said. “Students say this is a life changing experience and to be there when that happens, to see them open their eyes to experiences they never imagined they would have is a real gift.”

Coming Full Circle Retiree returns to work with dream job
A
t 64, Elaine Allen was enjoying retirement. After leaving her law enforcement career over 14 years before, she wasn’t looking to jump back into the workforce. But, as fate would have it, she was about to get the chance to chase a long forgotten dream. At the request of her diocesan, Allen was asked to spearhead a publication for the church group. With a creative streak and love of art since childhood, she jumped at the chance. It was only after she accepted the challenge that she realized she was going to need a little help. “I had no clue what to do,” Allen recalled. “I started looking at the software that I would need to use in order to create the publication and I knew I would need to be trained in it to do a good job.”
www.wccnet.edu
That’s when she found the Digital Media Arts program at Washtenaw Community College.
Hooked on design Consisting of 3D animation, digital video, graphic design technology, photography and web design & development, the DMA program at WCC offers both a certificate in Graphic Design and an Associate Degree. With a robust design program at her fingertips, what started out as a few classes at WCC soon opened up into a new possible career path for the former police officer. “I became very interested in what I was learning and I just kept going,” Allen said. “My goal was to be the very best that I could be.” A goal made attainable, in part, to the faculty she
encountered while at the college.

“I liked that the instructors are out working in the field they teach in. They have their finger on the pulse of what’s going on currently in their industries,” she said. “They push you beyond what you think you can do.”
“I have come full circle,” Allen said. “I didn’t actually go from law enforcement to design, I just returned to my first love after a long hiatus.”
Second career success While reinventing yourself after retirement isn’t easy, it’s something Allen says anyone with the right dedication can do. “Sometimes we are our own worst enemy because we only think about our age, but as a mature adult we have a lot of life experience to offer. I’m here to say go for it.” And go for it she did. Allen recently graduated with an Associate in Applied Science degree in Graphic Arts and is currently running her own

You’ll benefit by starting out with Washtenaw Community College’s small class sizes and personal attention. Classes are held on the WCC campus, at our extension centers and at many area high schools. In many cases, your school district will pay your WCC tuition. If you take just one WCC class every semester during high school, you could earn 18 credits. That’s more than a full semester’s worth
of college credits, giving you a great head start! If you’re planning to get a four-year degree, WCC’s affordable tuition can help stretch your dollars: complete your first two years of study here, then transfer to a four-year university. Go to wccnet.edu/dualenrollment to learn more.
