The PATH grant was created in response to the healthcare shortage in order to decrease barriers or obstacles students may have keeping them from completing their degree path. We have an academic success coach, Sonya Vukadinovich, and a social services coordinator, Allison Threet.
Allison helps with external barriers that keep you from completing the program. She can direct you to resources, both internal and external, to help with obstacles that may arise throughout your program. Please contact Allison regarding PATH applications, loaning textbooks or other materials, or if you need support during the program.
Sonya provides supplemental academic support to students. She is available by appointment to assist students who need one on one success sessions. Sonya also hosts a variety of academic workshops to help students succeed.
