This fall, Glasser Breeding will go to Germany as part of the Congress-Bunde- stag Youth Exchange program that helps students study overseas. After, she will go to Wellesley College in Massachusetts. She attributed many of her future oppor- tunities to the education she received at

“I don’t know of any community col- lege that has the same amount of local support as we do and it really makes the difference,” she said.
