Kinta Joseph graduated from Gateway Community and Technical College with an associate degree in criminal justice and transferred to Northern Kentucky University, where she plans to obtain a bachelor’s degree. A Hurricane Katrina survivor from the 8th Ward in New Orleans, Kinta did not believe she was college material when she moved to Northern Kentucky in 2005. A social worker pointed her to the former Urban Learning Center, now Gateway’s Urban Center, where she took a few college classes. This experience led her to become a full-time student at Gateway and to eventually obtain a degree. Along with her degree, Kinta scored A’s in all her classes and received the 2009 President’s Award as Gateway’s most outstanding graduate.
A few years ago, Kinta was locked in a succession of dead-end jobs. Now she looks forward to a future helping juvenile offenders rebuild their lives.
With hard work and determination, Kinta is climbing the ladder of success. So can you.
