JOHN DEE BRIGHT 2023GRADUATES The Urban Experience Magazine spoke with two members of the first cohort of John Dee Bright College set to graduate May 13th, 2023. Patricia Johnson and Floyd Ezell answered the following: PATRICIA JOHNSON Reflect on your time at Bright College. What have you learned? What will you remember that has made an impact on you? My time at John Dee Bright College has, hands down, been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I learned far more than I ever thought I was capable of learning at my age. But what impacted me most was how invested the faculty and staff were in the success of each person in the inaugural cohort of Bright College. This experience has humbled me tremendously. What do you say to someone who is thinking about applying to Bright College, but is nervous to be in college? I would say to someone who is thinking about applying to Bright College, but is nervous to be in college, is don't walk, run toward an opportunity that may only come along once in a lifetime. It can be scary, but it is well worth the investment you are making in your future. What are your plans after graduation? After graduation I plan on returning to retirement. However, I do plan on continuing to be involved with Bright College in some capacity and also, I plan to volunteer at some service organizations, most likely one that serves young people.
