ALUMNI SUCCESS STORIES

Fifty years of delivering excellence and changing lives has resulted in countless stories of success, hard work, determination, and a never-give-up attitude from Delaware Tech students. They have graduated and gone on to become nurses, paramedics, dental hygienists, food safety professionals, auto mechanics, firefighters, police officers, teachers, welders, small business owners and a host of other professions. Throughout the year we have highlighted 50 different alumni on the 50th anniversary website. Here are just a few of those stories.

PURUSHA RIVERA

urusha Rivera always knew that babies would be a part of her life. Graduating from Delaware Tech in 2000 with a P degree in diagnostic medical sonography, Rivera pursued a career in pregnancy sonography. She was living her dream with two children and a thriving career in her field. Then she discovered something that would change her life forever – a teddy bear containing a recordable device to capture the sound of a baby’s heartbeat through an ultrasound. The expecting mother could then hear this special sound whenever she wanted. Rivera began offering the bears for purchase, and a business was born. Since the business began in 2009, it has grown by leaps and bounds, last year earning about $1.2 million in sales and sales are steadily increasing. Rivera credits Delaware Tech for giving her the education and hands-on training she needed to pursue her passion. “Delaware Tech prepared me very well to succeed in my chosen career,” said Rivera on a recent visit to speak with current sonography students. As a way to pay it forward, she is creating a scholarship for a sonography student to pursue his or her dreams, too. “I love what I do, and I am blessed to have found my passion and be able to share it with the world.”

ERIC WATKINS

etective Eric Watkins of the Delaware Capitol Police will be the first to tell you that his Delaware Tech degree D is the foundation of his successful 23-year career in law enforcement. While earning his criminal justice degree from the Owens Campus in the early ‘90s, Watkins interned as a seasonal police officer in Bethany Beach. He credits his success in the program to caring faculty who supported and guided a group of ten students who would eventually all become police officers. “They kept us straight and helped us succeed,” says Watkins who upon graduation was hired by the South Bethany Police Department (SBPD) and attended the Delaware State Police Academy. In 2012, after 18 years with the SBPD, Watkins left to join the Delaware Capitol Police in Delaware’s Division of Homeland Security which is assigned to protect specific state facilities. He works as a detective in the special unit which investigates crimes against legislators and the judiciary. He also serves on the agency’s For anyone currently considering a law enforcement career, firearms unit and was awarded the 2015 Officer of the Year as a Watkins touts the College’s new law enforcement option (LEO) result of his work in the firearms unit. program.

BERNICE EDWARDS

s executive director of the First State Community Action Agency (First State CAA) in Georgetown, Bernice A Edwards often tells people, “If you have a dream and you’ve set your goal, don’t let anything deter you from achieving it. You might not reach it right away, but keep persevering, and it will happen.” Her clients take her seriously because Edwards doesn’t just talk the talk. She’s walked the walk. At 38 years old, she sat down with her husband and two teenagers and told them she wanted to go to college. Since First State CAA works with individuals and communities to overcome the challenges of unemployment, homelessness, substandard living conditions/hunger, she knew human services was the degree for her. Edwards knew that Delaware Tech was the perfect option for a working wife and mother. And as she worked her way up through the ranks at First State CAA, she finished her bachelor’s degree in behavioral science at Wilmington University. She was presented in 2004 with Delaware Tech’s Distinguished Alumni Award, which recognizes Owens Campus graduates who have made significant contributions to their communities through academic and career achievements, community service, and personal accomplishments. Even though she’s been working in human services for many years now, Edwards still feels a passion for her job. “It’s very exhausting work, but when I see someone reach a milestone that they haven’t been able to achieve before, it’s all worth it.”

DR. RAY FULKROD JR.

r. Ray Fulkrod Jr. was a paramedic when he moved to Delaware 15 years ago, but he wanted to do even D more within the medical profession. To achieve that goal, he enrolled in a Terry Campus bridge program that trains and educates individuals to advance from paramedic to nurse. Several years later, Fulkrod is Assistant Vice President of Clinical Operations at Nanticoke Health Services and is accountable for services provided by several departments, including Surgical Services, Quality Management, Case Management, Bariatrics, Wound Care, Laboratory Services and Cancer Care. The journey did not happen overnight – he became an emergency department nurse after graduation, moved into quality management and then transitioned into administration – but it started at Delaware Tech. “I was blessed with the opportunity to attend the nursing program on the Terry Campus,” said Fulkrod. “The entire staff were an inspiration, offering many opportunities for mentorship and coaching that allowed me to grow as both a student and professional.” It is the faculty that Fulkrod credits with helping the program’s students thrive. “The skills and talents of the nursing instructors on the Terry Campus are absolutely critical to the success of the students who graduate - they provide the opportunity for those students to succeed,” he said. “You can feel the commitment. They just want their students to succeed and continue growing in their careers.” As his way of saying ‘thank you’ to those faculty and staff members, Fulkrod shares his experience with the nursing program and continues to push himself to improve professionally. “That is my way of giving back, especially to our community. I love being a nurse and I am forever grateful for the opportunity the Delaware Tech Terry Campus provided me.”
