FROM STUDENTS TO SWEETHEARTS! |

In honor of Valentine's Day, the Alumni Association wants to share some of the many love stories that began at Quinebaug Valley Community College. From students to sweethearts, we celebrate love that found its start in the halls and classrooms of QVCC. Our three highlighted couples include:
Brian '11 & Sarah '03 Lefevre, who met as QVCC student workers in the early 2000's and married in 2011.
Joel '12 & Akanksha '13 Tretheway, who met while studying art at QVCC in 2012 and are now married with two children.
Jake & Kendra Dexter '13, who met in a QVCC English class taught by Faculty member Jon Anderson. In September of 2021, Jake and Kendra were married by Jon Anderson, 11 years after they met in his class.

Each month, Quinebaug Valley Community College will share alumni stories on the college's LinkedIn page with a series of questions & answers.
The February LinkedIn Q&A is with QVCC Alumna Christine Collins '96.
1.What did you study at QVCC? General Studies, as I had no idea where I wanted to go.
2. What is your current career? Crisis Clinician for the Day Kimball Hospital Emergency Department, Program Manager for Nurturing Families, and Manager of the DKH Family Advocacy Center.
3.Where did your degree from QVCC take you and how has QVCC helped you achieve academic/professional goals? When I was in high school the classes were very small and I was being told that if I was to go right to a large college I would be one of many with limited support and contact with professors. QVCC was a stepping stone for me to get comfortable with what college classes would be like.
