How have the Pathways Scholarship and CARE program supported your journey at Champlain?

The Pathways Scholarship and CARE program have connected me to individuals on campus in different areas that support students like me. CARE has helped me create relationships and connect with people that I didn’t know could exist. CARE started a lot of conversations about the goals and dreams I want to accomplish. It changed the phrase ‘I can’t do this’ to ‘I can’t do this but I know who to talk to to reach there.’ The programs have pushed me out of my comfort zone when I couldn’t. Without me being a part of CARE, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.

What is the most rewarding part of the CARE program?

The most rewarding part of the CARE program is the relationship you make. From the students that start with you to the staff checking on you, wondering what else they can do to help your journey at Champlain. Including you in every event on campus that’s possible. CARE created the support system that I didn’t even know I needed in my first year and I’m thankful for that.
