Kelly Dubiel signs "mother" at the Lansing Community College Library on Wednesday. Dubiel started her college career at LCC and fell in love with American Sign Language, or ASL, and deaf education. She then transferred to MSU to get her degree, simultaneously taking ASL classes during the spring semester at LCC. Her interest in sign language began early on in her life when her aunt's friend would show Dubiel flash cards from her ASL Interpreter Training Program.
Community colleges aren't just used as a stepladder into universities anymore.
Michigan's first two-year college, Grand Rapids Junior College, opened in 1914 with the intention of giving students a way to make an easier transition from high school to a university.
Ninety-three years later, 27 more public community colleges have opened in Michigan - from Bay de Noc Community College in Escanaba, to Monroe County Community College in Monroe - and MSU students are taking full advantage.
