" I began my academic journey at DMACC in 2002 hence; obtaining Associates Degree from DMACC became the road map for both my academic and professional experience. DMACC provided the flexibility to juggle between school, work and supporting my family in Sierra Leone, West Africa. DMACC provided the opportunities and exposure to interact and engage with students and professors from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Obtaining Associate Degree from DMACC provided the opportunity to develop a deeper passion for learning and community service.

I hearby encourage each current and prospective student to know how that 'Education is an opportunity for today and future, keep persevering and dreaming until you achieve it'."  -

STAFF/FACULTY SPOTLIGHT
Berenice Real Ibarra
Recruitment Specialist

" Hi! I'm Berenice Real Ibarra and I recently started my journey at DMACC as a Recruitment Specialist. I am a two-time graduate from Iowa State University, most recently receiving Masters of Education for Social Justice Certificate in May 2019.

During my time as a graduate student, I worked for a scholarship program for first-generation, low-income students from Iowa, served as a practicum student in Multicultural Recruitment for ISU's Office of Admissions, and spent a summer interning as an Assistant Director at UC-Berkeley. Through these experiences, I developed a passion for increasing college access and student retention in higher education, especially for marginalized populations. I speak Spanish and English fluently and I am looking forward to using this skill in my work as a recruitment specialist.

Some fun facts about me: I enjoy traveling, puzzles, running, documentaries, and food - I am always happy to hear restaurant recommendations! I am excited to be a part of the DMACC team! Feel free to reach out to me at brealibarra@dmacc.edu . Go Bears!"
