-: So, my name is Dr. Craig Smith.
I'm the director of student retention and success
at Montgomery County Community College.
I'm also the CEO and founder of Falls From Success,
Boys to Men, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
that targets work with at-risk males
that are in and out of foster care.
So I was a resident assistant here.
I was a para-educator.
I did just about everything
that a student could do at the institution
that gave me added insight across the board,
so who best but me to go out and be able
to sell the institution and sell my experience,
which was a positive one.
So career services, you don't connect with them
on your way out the door,
you connect with them on your way through the door.
