The Trident Experience has taught me that whatever I want to do, I can achieve it regardless of how old or late in career, it’s never too late to meet your dreams.
- Dr. Dolores Gordon, Ph.D. Educational Leadership, Trident University Alumna
Having our Service members invest in an education today is not a Tax on the present but an Investment into our future. Trident was very flexible with my military career, and provided me the opportunity to continue my education and develop me as an Adaptive, Balanced and Creative thinker and provide me the key to success.
