Bergen Community College student, Shiwa Yangzom, is majoring in general studies to transfer to a four-year institution to purse international relations and business. “Bergen has a variety of courses at an affordable price which is perfect for a student like me who is currently undecided and looking to immerse myself in different subject areas,” said Yangzom.
As an active student on campus, she serves as a tutor in the CLAC Writing Center, a director of communications for Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), a member of the Student Government Association (SGA), and a member of the philosophy club. “By getting involved on campus, I have met professors, advisors, and peers who always support me, which truly enriches and enhances my community college experience,” said Yangzom. She expects to graduate in May 2024.
