Kathleen Flynn thought about college like she did her two children - if she could be pregnant for nine months, she could go to college for ten months. She attended Stautzenberger’s Medical Billing and Coding program and found a job with a company she really enjoyed. Then, when she decided she was ready to advance, she came back to Stautzenberger and took her seven month Healthcare Administration classes. She was successful here due to the online format. Even her externship was online - when w
“Do yourself a favor - change your life.” This inspiring quote pushed Diana to do just that and go back to school to get her certificate in Practical Nursing.

“It’s never too late to learn” rings true in the case of Sandra Nash. We are so proud of our Dean’s List Graduate! A hard-working grandma, she was nervous about attending school and still raising her granddaughter - but she did it with amazing success.

We are so proud of our graduate Alexis Andres, who overcame the challenge of learning to deal with her Lupus while attending college. And she did it in excellent fashion - making our Dean’s list in the process! She credits her medical diagnosis with part of her inspiration. However, the other part belongs to her bonus mom, Shelly, who really encouraged her to work hard and pursue her dreams.
We are so proud of mother-of-three Jasmine Grays and her focus that allowed her to graduate from our program. She didn’t rush into a career choice; she took her time and evaluated her choices to make sure she was picking the right job for her. She is so appreciative of all of our helpful instructors. She admits at times it was hard doing the program online, but it allowed her to be able to also focus on her three children.
“If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way”. This quote by Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was an inspiration to our Practical Nursing Student Asia Taylor. Asia worked hard to attend college and provide for her children at the same time. She faced many trials - eviction, car trouble, even a relationship falling apart - but through it all, she worked hard and graduated.

And boy did she succeed - graduating on our Dean’s List! “While the classes were challenging
