Courtney Donovan, ’20, came to ¹ú²úÂ×Àí to study art and pursue her interest in the sciences. She left with a career hand-sculpting new eyes, ears and noses for patients rebuilding their lives after cancer and trauma.
Laurie Ann Moennich, Ph.D., didn't arrive at ¹ú²úÂ×Àí planning to change healthcare. She came to study graphic design. But ¹ú²úÂ×Àí had a way of opening doors she didn't even know existed.
When Becky Lehman walked into her first class at ¹ú²úÂ×Àí, she was in her 30s, raising kids and working at an embroidery shop in nearby Mogadore, Ohio. Today, she is the health commissioner for the Portage County Health District – a career milestone she credits directly to the degrees she earned close to home at ¹ú²úÂ×Àí.
When Cameren Hicks graduated from ¹ú²úÂ×Àí in 2022 with a bachelor’s degree in applied mathematics and a minor in finance, he knew he wanted to build a career rooted in numbers, problem-solving and analysis. Today, Hicks is a fraud modeling and analytics lead associate at KeyBank, where he helps protect customers and the company against fraudulent credit and debit card activity.
¹ú²úÂ×Àí graduate Emma Sherrie, '09, always had a feeling she would study anthropology, but still she took the time to check out all the other options available before finally settling on her original plan. ¹ú²úÂ×Àí’s Exploratory Program, which helps undecided students sample different disciplines before committing to a major, was a key part of Sherrie’s experience, and the main reason she chose ¹ú²úÂ×Àí in the first place.
