"Hawkeye Community College provided an excellent foundation for my secretarial/administrative career. The education I received has opened more doors than I had thought possible. With such a strong foundation to build on I have been able to move into to each new position in my career with confidence. The education I received at Hawkeye has allowed me more success than I ever thought possible. Hawkeye’s secretarial program has allowed me to “wear many hats”. I’ve held positions as a patient service rep, patient account rep, payroll manager and currently I’m with Allen College as an Education Secretary. Hawkeye’s faculty and staff are terrific! Hats off to them!"
