He alsotook the New Student Seminar course to improve study habitsand work ethic. Jenkins specifically credits how he learned todevelop and implement a good study schedule to the newstudent course he took while in the Gateway program. Heimproved his initial English test scores from a ninth grade levelto the college level. With little previous computer skills, he isnow versatile in Microsoft Word, the internet, and email. Mostnotably, Jenkins completed the Gateway program with a 4.0and earned a place on the dean’s list. Because of histremendous success in Gateway, his instructors asked him toconsider tutoring for other students. Jenkins is now one of thebest tutors—helpful, kind and encouraging, but insistent thatstudents figure out tough answers themselves. Jenkins worksmore than forty hours a week while attending Dunwoody fulltime, still managing to maintain excellent grades. He hopes Gene Jenkins enjoys helping fellow classmates through his tutoring jobat Dunwoody.

AlumniJourneyJeff Kraker, 1993 Engineering Draftingand DesignJeff Kraker grew up in White Bear Lake, Minnesota,graduating from high school in 1987. After attendingLakewood Community College (now Century College) for ayear, Kraker lost interest due to lack of a career goal andmoney. He took a job with an auto parts supply warehousedriving a delivery truck. It wasn’t until 1990, when Kraker methis (now) wife that he decided to try school again andestablish a career. The real push came when his soon-to-bewife asked, during their engagement, when their wedding dateshould be.

Kraker’s father owned and operated a steelfabrication shop, so he had always had an interest in machinedesign and fabrication. Kraker decided to enroll in the program.While at Dunwoody, Kraker decided to learn more aboutCadkey which was new to the college at the time. He was alsoheavily involved with some programming and macro work withCadkey, learning mostly from trial and error. He used Cadkey’s3-D for most of his final Dunwoody projects; most studentsdid not do their final projects in 3-D at the time. As it turns out,when Kraker started working for Crown Iron Works Co. as adrafter upon graduating from Dunwoody in 1993, the companywas using AutoCAD 10 and only doing flat 2-D drawings. Afterworking at Crown for a whil
