“I was really nervous about the college admissions, financial aid, and class registration process. However, my Success Coach, Sue Niemi, made all those processes very easy and accessible. Working with my Success Coach created feelings of comfort, inclusion, and belonging, which overall guided my college career in a positive direction!”

“We can all go on knowing that no matter what the next page reveals, we are equipped with the competence and the confidence and skill to succeed in any chapter of our lives.
Most importantly Roane State has taught us the power of recognition. We've been showered by the outpouring of encouragement and love through vivid illustrations of patience, kindness, humor, and grace.”
