CSM Class of 1987

Charles County Commissioner, District 2

CSM actually set the foundation for my career. You can look at CSM for another way to advance certifications and certificates because they also offer trades. There are many, many opportunities that are offered at CSM without acquiring a lot of debt. As a commissioner, I attend graduation; I enjoy shaking every student's hand that graduates or walks across that stage, looking back and saying, 'This is the legacy that I've come from.'
