Findlay-Area Campus

Transcript

Owens has not one, but two campuses. Let’s introduce you to Skyler. She is a nursing student at the Findlay area campus. A smaller campus, but with all the resources to succeed plus it’s near downtown to give you a bigger college feel. Tell us about your connection with the Findlay area campus, Skyler. Take it away.

– Thanks, Alex. When choosing a college to attend, Owens was the easy choice for me. The Findlay area campus is five minutes from my house and I practically grew up here. I’ve been walking the grounds of Owens since I was six years old because my grandpa was a security officer here. I started at Owens when I was a junior in high school, taking College Credit Plus classes and haven’t left. It’s a smaller campus, so you aren’t just a number. The professors are very supportive of student success. I was involved in a serious car accident that involved a head injury, and my professors made sure I had enough time to succeed in my education. Everybody knows everyone, but it’s definitely a good thing when someone’s going through a hard time. The Findlay area campus at Owens really is the place to go. For being a small campus, there are plenty of ways to be involved. From student activities, catered lunches, and transfer fairs for after you graduate if you want to continue on for bachelor’s or master’s. Sometimes Owens even has people from hospitals come in for job opportunities, which we appreciate in nursing. There’s even a food court that serves breakfast and lunch. Campus is about five minutes from downtown Findlay and any restaurant or social gathering places my classmates and I can go. When I first started at Owens, I really did not think I would learn as much as I have. Not only have I learned nursing, I’ve also learned the people at Owens are your family. Owens has definitely built my foundation to be successful as a nurse. That’s my insight on Owens and my story. Back to you, Alex.

– Thanks, Skyler. What a great campus with plenty of opportunities in learning and ways to be involved. From coming on campus as a child with her grandfather to being in the College Credit Plus program and now actively pursuing her nursing degree, the access and success is absolutely endless here. Thanks, Skyler.
