In this episode of Student Success Stories, we explore the paths of Liza and Kaitlin. We get to hear about their lives before deciding to finish college and what it’s like being ‘non-traditional’ college students. It’s motivating to hear their perspectives on college and their desire to complete what they started. They tell stimulating stories about the risks they took and the big steps they didn't expect, but don’t regret.
