From Community College to the White House: Meet These Three Staffers

Crystal Carson, Assistant to the White House Director of Communications

For students wondering if community college is the right decision, Crystal Carson says, "just do it." And as a graduate of Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, North Carolina who now serves as the Assistant to the White House Director of Communications, Carson knows her fair share about community college.

She says that her time at Central Piedmont opened her mind to different opportunities and acted as a gateway to a variety of fields. She also notes that going to a community college didn't put her at any disadvantage compared to anyone else at the White House.

"The support systems and the teachers, resources, all of the things that you can get at a community college are similar and if not better than any university that you could go to."
