Alum Dan Verel Started His Journalism Career at City College of San Francisco

SF BAY VIEW -- Dan Verel, another former City College journalism student and now a health writer at MedCity News, agreed that the department’s high standards set him up for success after transferring to San Francisco State University in his mid-20s. “We were far ahead of other students,” Verel said. “I don’t mean to sound dramatic, but [adviser Juan Gonzalez] was kind of a savior.”
