testimonialsI enjoyed learning about the campus and meeting new staff that will be able to help me in my educational path at DVC. It has taught me many things about college that I had no idea I would run into. When I fi rst came to this campus, I was lost. The EOPS Summer Institute opened my eyes and I now have a clear vision for myself. - Joneisha
I feel I have benefi ted from attending the Summer Institute very much. I re-ally liked the fi eld trip to UC Berkeley, the pizza lunches, and the staff. Before I enrolled, I didn’t know a thing about DVC. This has helped me so much with my future career and now I can help my friend that has just graduated with enrolling in DVC. - Jordan
I liked being able to meet new people and getting a feel for the college atmo-sphere. I now have a plan for college and am looking forward to going to college. - Joshua
