What our alumni say about COTC

Jennifer McDonald wearing a #1 foam finger in her office.COTC did a great job of preparing me for my career. There was a lot of hands-on training… The students that graduate from COTC go right into jobs and are very prepared. They are the ones that are going to advance and make a good wage.

COTC played a huge role in my career by opening the doors to continued education. It feels great to be back in Newark because it is giving me the chance to apply my work experience in school finance to a great community like Newark and at the same time feel like part of the success of a great school system.

Megan Connell-Cox

Portrait of Megan Connell-Cox in white navy uniform.

When Megan Connell-Cox joined the U.S. Navy at 21, she was trying to run away from a life of problems that wasn’t working for her anymore, but she was also unknowingly running toward a life with direction filled by her true purpose and passion. 

“I wasn’t happy with my life at that point. I wasn’t happy with where I was living or where I saw my life was heading,” she said. Connell-Cox’s life had been punctuated by traumatic events that left their mark on her and caused her to turn to drugs and alcohol. She enlisted as an aviation ordnanceman in Jan. 2001.
