Stark State alum Dr. Jerome West is proof that challenging times may just be the beginning of something greater.

Jerome arrived at Stark State in 2001 with a 1.6 high school GPA. When he graduated in 2006, he finished with more than an associate degree.

“Stark State taught me how to fall in love with the educational journey,” Jerome said.

He continued learning, eventually earning multiple advanced degrees, including a doctorate of healthcare administration and a master's in clinical counseling. Today, he serves as a healthcare leader and advocates for behavioral health equity.
