Student Comments about ECM • “The ECM is my future. Without it I wouldn’t have been able to get the education I desired and I wouldn’t live the life I want to live” (David, New Haven) • “I feel that it is one of the best choices I have made, because ever since I took my first college course over the summer, it has helped me improve my work and study habits, which has also helped me improve for high school”. (Dillon, Chippewa Valley) • “I hope to be able to get my veterinary technician’s certificate so I will be able to have a steady career sooner in my life”. (Jessica, East Detroit)
