"The skills I developed at ARC helped ensure my success at UC Berkeley and in my professional career"
Deepika Raj
Alumni / 2006 to 2008 / Unit Manager for California Dept. of Health Care Services / American River College
Taking social sciences classes at ARC, and later UC Berkeley, strengthened my analytical skills, reading comprehension, and writing skills that I continue to use on a daily basis. I was exposed to so many great professors that really cared about the success of their students. ARC allowed me to develop my leadership skills as the president of the Model United Nations Club on campus. My favorite part of ARC is their incredible faculty and the student life on campus. I was exposed to so many great professors that really cared about the success of their students. I felt prepared when I transferred to UC Berkeley because I was already exposed to performance expectations of professors at ARC. I also appreciated ARC's support for a vibrant student life on campus.
