There was a ribbon-cutting at Donnelly College Oct. 1 in Kansas City, Kan., in honor of a new program called Jobs for America’s Graduates.
Donnelly College is a partner with JAG, Gateway to College and the Kansas City, Kan., Public Schools to help Wyandotte County students to be ready for college. The organizations will help students obtain high school diplomas and college degrees, and will help with their career opportunities.
This program is the first one in the state of Kansas, according to Donnelly officials. There are 43 programs like this nationwide.
The student-to-teacher ratio at Donnelly College is very low. This program encourages students to learn, both in and out of the classroom, in a positive manner. Donnelly College is known for its individual instruction, said Monsignor Stuart Swetland, president of Donnelly College.
According to Bill Hurrelbrink, communication coordinator with Mayor Mark Holland’s office, this is part of the healthy communities program. This program not only teaches students to learn in the classroom, but it also teaches them how to deal with life.
