Gift of Careers: Healthcare, Public Affairs, Social Services, and Culinary Arts

This holiday season, we celebrate a school that empowers students to make a lasting impact in Healthcare, Public Affairs, Social Services, and Culinary Arts. Chances are, you’ve already crossed paths with a student here in Michiana—whether dining at a restaurant where our Hospitality students serve with skill and care, or meeting one of our Human Services students working tirelessly to support our community.

Our Healthcare students are everywhere, caring for neighbors as Dental Hygienists, Surgical Technologists, Medical Assistants, Respiratory Technologists, and CNAs. Each of them has transformed a passion for helping others into a career that truly changes lives.

For many students, financial barriers stand in the way of achieving their dreams. Costs for board exams, essential equipment, and professional attire can be overwhelming.

This holiday season, you can help remove those barriers. By giving, you can provide the gift of career and open doors for more students to pursue their calling and continue strengthening our community.

To start their career, Healthcare students must pass their board exams. This cost can be anywhere from $200-$1,500. Help students cover this cost this holiday season!
