David Beck

As a child, David Beck was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. While David is sometimes shy and likes to keep to himself, he has not allowed his diagnosis to stifle his dreams of obtaining a college degree.

David started at Mohawk Valley Community College in the spring of 2014. Initially he took only online classes, but after finishing the semester with a 4.0 GPA, he transitioned into on-campus classes alongside other students. David further challenged himself by speaking publically in front of On Point for College’s Annual Utica Celebration event in 2014.

David will graduate from MVCC in spring 2016 and plans to transfer to SUNY IT in the fall, where he will continue to pursue his passion for computer science.
