St. Clair County Community College issued the following announcement on Oct. 19.
Giovonni Carden always wanted to be a nurse. She knew SC4 had a great program and it was also close by, so her choice was simple. But the decision to go to college often involves additional challenges that aren’t quite as simple. So Carden also got involved with the college’s TRIO Student Support Services program at the suggestion of some of her friends.
“I heard great things from others about the [TRIO] program,” Carden said, “and I thought that I could use some help along my journey in college.”
Her intuition about joining TRIO turned out to be a great choice.
“TRIO has helped me obtain my goals by mentoring me, addressing questions and concerns I had, and walking me through the steps to prepare for and apply to the nursing program,” she explained. “Shawne Jowett [Interim Director of TRIO at SC4] has been there for me every single time I needed her help. I’m extremely grateful for her. I really can’t thank her enough for all the help she has given me.”
For her achievements at SC4 and in the TRIO program, Carden is the October TRIO Student of the Month.
