My name is Alexia Dorvil-Dias and I have been studying in my program Springboard Dec for less than a year now. My topic is related to what people need to know about this program that gives the requirements for programs in College. It can help to solve misunderstanding with some terms linked to this program or explain what it offers.

I would like to direct the reader towards a college website to get to learn further on this program.
