🎓 Graduate Spotlight: Amillia Howard
Associate Degree in Nursing

Growing up in a community where she witnessed the effects of addiction firsthand, Amillia Howard saw the impact it can have on individuals, families, and the community as a whole. That experience inspired her to pursue nursing and become part of creating positive change.

Now she's graduating with her nursing degree and plans to continue her education at Ohio University to earn her BSN. She credits her mom for the consistent support and love that gave her the strength and confidence to reach this point.

Her advice to incoming students? Stay on top of your schoolwork, but take care of yourself.
