Wilfredo Ferrer III

Legal Studies

Wilfredo Ferrer III chose to pursue college to build a successful life for himself. When debating where to go to college, he was looking for a cost-effective option while still remaining in the local area. His decision landed on Delaware Tech as being the best fit.

Ferrer is in the legal studies program to learn the basics of the legal system. "I chose my major because my dream is to study environmental law. One day, I want to work as an environmental law attorney for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)."

Since joining Delaware Tech, Ferrer has "broken out of his shell" to join clubs that he has always wanted to participate in. He is now a member of the Presidential Student Leadership Academy, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, and Alpha Beta Gamma Honor Society.

He also credits his time at Delaware Tech for his newfound aspiration to pursue leadership positions in the student clubs he has joined as well as in his community.

Ferrer’s advice for other students at Delaware Tech looking to enhance their college experience is to start getting involved with clubs and activities on campus.

His favorite memories at the College have been spent in the classroom while engaging in conversations on the topics his instructor have prepared for the class.

"I enjoy trying to observe every side of the discussion so that I can argue both sides of the argument," Ferrer said.

Following graduation from Delaware Tech, he plans to pursue his bachelor’s degree and then go on to attend law school with a concentration in environmental law.
