Jarred VanHorn
Treasurer
Jarred VanHorn is from Farmington, MN, and is currently pursuing degrees in Technical Management & Architectural Technology.
Jarred wanted to represent DCTC on the Student Senate originally for student work, but once he got involved he found he really enjoyed advocating for other students, especially concerning mental health.
In addition to being a member of the Student Senate, Jared is a Student Ambassador, and member of the Wellness Club, Multicultural Student Leadership Association, Men's Soccer team, Phi Theta Kappa, SCNAVTA, and TRIO.
After graduation, Jarred plans to continue developing his nonprofit, Seeds of Success, and the projects his team of 70+ student leaders from 25+ MN colleges are working on. He also wants to continue developing his startup company as they had about 1 month worth of money a year ago, and now have a team of 5 employees with 2 of them from DCTC! Eventually, he’d also like to get his doctoral degree in Psychology, Political Science, or Child Development.
Jarred enjoys playing soccer and considers himself a big nerd for math. He enjoys data, spreadsheets, and finance. Jarred added that he is an open book and likes to talk, so say "hi" if you see him in the halls!
When asked why other students should join the Student Senate, Jarred share, "Because it's the #1 best opportunity to grow your professional skills at DCTC, and you get to advocate for your fellow students."
Favorite...
...Thing about DCTC: "DCTC basically turned my life around, so I'd say the amount of support I've received from DCTC staff, faculty, administration, and my peers has been a real difference maker!"
...Movie: "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse"" (DUH!)
...Book: "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is the best HP book, don't @ me.
...Musician or band: Pond (they're 4 weird guys from Australia), or maybe Green Day
