Career growth isn't always a straight line, but the right foundation makes the journey worth it. 🎓

Shelly L. ('02), Franklin graduate, navigated her path to a degree while balancing a busy professional life and family responsibilities at home. From practicing public speaking on VHS tapes to mastering the business principles she uses every day, Shelly used every resource Franklin offered to build her future.

Today, she's a marketing & communications manager at Mount Carmel Health System. We are so proud to have been a part of her story!

Franklin was on the news this morning — and for good reason.

Dr. Lynne Rouzer, Senior Vice President of Student Affairs & Enrollment Management, and Christopher Gonzalez, Senior Academic Advisor and VA School Certifying Official, joined Good Day Columbus to talk about how Franklin supports veterans, military spouses, and military families through benefits, advising, flexible programs, and personalized support from people who understand what that transition actually looks like.

Franklin will also be at the WSYX ABC 6 Veterans Resource Expo tomorrow, connecting veterans and their families with education and career resources in person.

If you're a veteran or military-connected student figuring out your next step, this one's for you.
