Meet Paul Arsenault: SMCC Alumnus
“SMCC has provided me flexibility”
“I came to college 12 years after high school, and I’m planning to get a job in mechanical design after earning my degree in Architectural & Engineering Design. Thanks to SMCC, I’ve been able to juggle my academic work with a full-time job and the responsibilities that come with a family and a young son.”
