Andrea Packer- without prestigious DCCC presidential scholarship she won in 2008, Andrea Packer, a DCCC honor graduate , says she doubts she would already be pursuing her baccalaureate degree from Catawba college. “I cannot say thank you enough to whoever paid for my education, and I am going to continue to do my test to make them happy that they invested in me,” she said.

Since August 2011, Packer, 20, has been working toward her bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Catawba college, and she doesn’t have to leave DCCC’s Davidson campus to do so. She said she likes the convenience of leaving her teaching assistant’s  job in one DCCC building and walking only steps to her evening Catawba classes where she is talking history , statistics and education courses.
