2019 Student success stories

Angel Swanigan | Fortis College

10/15/2019

 
Picture


​When Angel enrolled into the MA program at Fortis College she was living in a homeless shelter, had no vehicle and had no family to help/support/assist her. Relying on the public transportation/campus van, she knew this is what she had to do to establish a career and after just a few months in the program, she definitely knew this is what she wanted.

​She finally moved into an apartment, and secured a position working as a Home Health Aide. Angel’s externship was with Concentra, in Akron (again relying on public transportation) and while on externship she was served an eviction notice. She knew she had to sacrifice paid hours with her externship hours, if she wanted to graduate. While on externship, she worked in a very fast paced environment, interacted with patients, staff. Her 9:00-6:00 day went by very fast!
