JCTC Open Doors of Opportunity

JCTC Opens Doors of Opportunity

     Chanda Rodski knows the value of a good education.  The Louisville native who graduated from Assumption High School, Jefferson Community and Technical College, and Murray State University returned to her community college seventeen years ago, not as a student, but as an employee, and is now a Senior Admissions Advisor.  Her job is to help students in selecting from the school's numerous degree programs while leading them through the enrollment and financial aid process.  In her own words, Chanda seeks to "remove the fear of the unknown" in college enrollment.  Recently, Chanda brought her vast knowledge to Wayside Christian Mission where women and men in our recovery program learned they, too, can brighten their future prospects through post-secondary educational opportunities offered by Jefferson Community and Technical College.  Interestingly, Chanda's husband Pete teaches mathematics at the school.  They have three boys and a new black lab puppy.  When asked about hobbies, Chanda laughed saying, "With three boys, I have no time for hobbies!"  In the meantime, the women and men who heard Chanda's presentation now know they have another option to help them achieve success in life.   Once again, JCTC has partnered with Wayside Christian Mission for the benefit of the homeless women and men in our community!  We all win when we work together!  Thank you, Chanda, for doing your part!
