Class of 2020

Making History

On behalf of the Board of Trustees for the Dallas County Community College District, congratulations on your graduation! During these unprecedented times there were no instruction manuals, yet you committed yourselves to your classes, stayed the course and achieved your dreams.

We want you to be ready for new jobs and new opportunities. We also want you to be prepared for change. You must be able to adapt to dynamic, real-life situations and each of you have proven that you can do just that during this pandemic. You are entering a tough job market, and you are tough too. We've instilled in you an "Education That Works," regardless of your next step in life - whether you are transferring to a university to continue your education or entering the workforce.

The District's colleges enroll students of all ages and from all walks of life. The students at our seven colleges reflect and represent our multifaceted communities. You, our graduates, are the reason for our existence and you are an integral part of the beautiful, diverse social fabric that is Dallas County.

Very soon, our seven colleges will become a single institution - Dallas College. You are the last class of students that will graduate from the seven individual colleges, and we are especially proud of this historymaking class of graduates. Your determination and grit to finish strong will be remembered for years to come. Congratulations!

“It doesn't matter how many times you fail. You only have to be right once and then everyone can tell you that you are an overnight success.”

— Mark Cuban

When Mark started his door-to-door business selling garbage bags at age 12, the seed was planted for his long-term success. He later graduated from Indiana University, moved to Dallas and, following a dispute with his employer, Mark created MicroSolutions - a computer consulting service. He sold it in 1990 to CompuServe.

In 1995, Mark and one of his long-time friends came up with another business: an internet-based solution to listen to Hoosiers basketball games in Texas. In just four years Broadcast.com (then Audionet) sold to Yahoo for billions of dollars.

Mark is also heralded for his acquisition of the Dallas Mavericks in 2000. He oversaw the Mavs competing in the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history, in 2006, and becoming NBA World Champions, in 2011.

Through The Mark Cuban Foundation, Mark gives back to the communities that promoted his success. The Foundation's AI Bootcamps Initiative hosts free trainings for low-income high schoolers. Mark also saved, and annually funds, the Dallas Saint Patrick's Day Parade - the largest parade in Dallas and a true city institution.
