…Here Will Get You There…

“I started Brookdale as a Business major. I thought I was going to be an accountant, like my dad, even though math was NOT my strong suit-no subject was really. I was lost; never really thinking I would ever be anything. It wasn’t until I experienced the English classes and professors at BCC: how they taught; how they made me think and inquire about the world; how their passion for what they do convinced me to want to be something, have the same impact on someone else, and be a lifelong learner. Brookdale made me realize my potential; made me discover a purpose; made me connected to meaning in the world- way larger than myself. Currently, I work as an Instructional Designer at Drew University and adjunct at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. I am pursuing a second Masters (of Letters- M.Litt) at Drew with plans to pursue the doctoral program afterward. In the future, I hope to return to Brookdale to teach the same classes that changed my life.”- Jenna Corraro
