Community colleges are potent symbols of the American dream – mini-democracies where anyone with a high school diploma or its equivalent can earn a two-year degree or get the training needed to go directly into the workforce. But our graduates are not the only ones who benefit from a college like Kingsborough Community College. We all do.

Mastering the Slippery Slope of Water Safety

While at Kingsborough, Rodriguez and his two colleagues from the NYPD Harbor Unit, Brian Brody and John Kodetsky, participated in simulated helicopter rescue missions with the U.S. Coast Guard. “That training literally is verbatim what we do in our unit,” says Rodriguez.

Kingsborough’s maritime tech program was founded in the early ‘80s and today has about 90 majors, two full-time professors, a number of adjunct instructors, and two full- time lab technicians. Safety is always a paramount concern, and “Cap” DiLernia and his crew emphasize readiness by offering courses in safety and survival, first aid, firefighting and CPR. Graduates frequently take jobs as police officers and firefighters, while others choose jobs on ferries, >> A scuba diver jumps out of a helicopter, plucks two tugboats, dinner boats and private yachts.
