Alumni
Serving our country goes beyond mere obligation; it is a deeply personal and transformative experience that shapes not only our individual experiences but also the collective narrative of our society."

DDS was a life-changing experience. It was the highest impact work of my career, and it stretched me beyond my perceived limits. If you want a comfortable job, don’t apply to DDS."
