The Elms Off-Campus Experience
Kimberly Quinonez ’23
A native of South Carolina, Kim grew up in a life of poverty, addiction, and homelessness. After getting clean – “Praise god!” – she moved to Massachusetts to improve upon her 6th-grade education. Completing her high school equivalency at STCC at age 43, she enrolled in that college’s two-year associate’s program in social work.
Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Technology and Security, and Computer Science.
After earning my associate’s degree in Computer Information Systems at Greenfield Community College, I transferred to Elms College to pursue my bachelor’s degree in Computer Information Technology and Security. My advisor at Greenfield recommended that I go to Elms.
“The flexibility of the Elms at BCC program allowed me to return to school when I never thought it would be possible. The continuous support within the cohort as well as from the staff has made my educational experience one-of-a-kind.” Shannon Ray ’20
B.S. in social work, BCC campus

I chose Elms College to study accounting because of the experience of the professors and their willingness to meet with students. When I did my tour here in my senior year of high school, I met with the director of the Accounting program.
