– Thanks Alex. Hey everyone. When I began my college search as an undergraduate, it was important for me to find a place that not only promoted academic excellence but also a sense of community, a home away from home. The University of Southern Indiana was that place, a place where there’s opportunity to grow academically, professionally, and as an all around individual. USI’s College of Nursing and Health Professions has a strong history of graduates boasting successful pass rates on national exams and for preparing its students for leadership roles in healthcare around the country. Not only did my early academic experience prepare me for the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, but USI also afforded a vast array of other opportunities. I was able to participate in various organizations involving religious and sorority life, intermurals and the global engagement study abroad program to Ghana. I was even able to sing the national anthem at my commencement ceremony. With all of these experiences, when I decided it was time for me to continue my education after being in the healthcare field, I knew I wanted to return to USI. The online bachelor of science in respiratory therapy option was a great fit for me. The coursework is flexible for professionals and parents with access to many of the same resources as attending classes on campus. The course material is presented in a variety of ways that appeals to different learning styles. A college education is more than learning skills for a job. It’s about learning how to balance being a mother, an employee and being successful on my online program. I am a testament to receiving sound, evidence based teaching from experienced professors at an institution dedicated to my success. USI has provided me with the knowledge and confidence to excel wherever I go. Back to you Alex.

– Tori, I can’t thank you enough for sharing your college experiences with us. Juggling family, work and educational commitments, what a role model you are for your son. From here there is no doubt you’ll continue to soar. Cheers.
