RCU student April Dickerson’s educational journey is a powerful reminder that perseverance with support can open new doors.

Recently featured in "Encore," an Oakland County newsletter for older adults, April shared how partnerships between Rochester Christian University, Oakland80 and Oakland County Michigan Works! helped her continue pursuing her bachelor’s degree in communication after years of life challenges and career transitions.

With determination and encouragement from those around her, April is now preparing to use her degree to help “bridge the gap between people.”

“This works,” April said. “It happened for me, and it can happen for anyone.”

We’re proud to celebrate April’s story and honored to support students pursuing their goals at every stage of life. ❤️ 📚
