Edalis Schloemann

Edalis Schloemann came to Delaware Tech to pursue a degree that would help her work toward her career goal -- to be a Delaware State Trooper. "As a woman, it is empowering and uplifting to earn a college degree. There are many things that people can take from you, but the one thing they cannot take is your education. Knowledge is power, and power will help me succeed."

When Edalis first came to Delaware Tech, she studied nursing. "I found out that wasn't the field for me. I always knew that I wanted to help people but just didn't know exactly how I would. I then switched my major to criminal justice and fell in love with what I was learning."

Edalis advised her peers to get involved. "Focus on a goal and find instructors and mentors who can help pave your way to success."

Edalis says the professors she has encountered have been extremely supportive and encouraging throughout her college experience. "I'm grateful and feel blessed to have had the opportunity to have such great mentors in my life."

After graduating from Delaware Tech, Edalis plans to enlist in the United States Navy and then apply to be a Delaware State Trooper.
