When Randi was a teenager, college wasn’t even on her radar — her focus was on caring for her young children. For years, she set aside her own dreams of higher education to support her family. After eight years working in Emergency Medical Services, helping those in the community when they needed it most, Randi realized she was ready for a change.

With a calling to continue caring for others, Randi chose North Central Michigan College’s Nursing Program to begin a new chapter. The decision to make a career change was a significant and challenging step for her.

“I don’t think I could have done it alone,” Randi said. “North Central offers a ton of resources specifically for nursing students to help with transitions like that.”

Thanks to supporters like you, North Central provided Randi with the support system she needed to succeed. With guidance from dedicated faculty, hands-on learning experiences, and financial aid, Randi found a community that lifted her up and empowered her to follow her dream.

Randi’s commitment didn’t just impact her life — it inspired her daughter, Roxanne, to pursue her own path in practical nursing. Moved by her mother’s determination and success, Roxanne enrolled at North Central and is now in her final semester of the Nursing Program.

“I didn’t think that I was going to be able to go to college,” said Roxanne. “But I know that my mom is a very intelligent and capable woman, and seeing her do that, I knew that if she could do it, I could do it too.”

The impact of community support is evident in students like Randi and Roxanne. Through your contributions, North Central provides scholarships, cutting-edge health science technology, and advanced facilities that place students at the forefront of education. Donor generosity helps make college affordable by covering the extra expenses that often hold students back from achieving their dreams.

Supporting North Central means investing in more than just education; it means strengthening our Northern Michigan community and building a future where opportunity is within reach for everyone.

Together, we’re creating a place for our neighbors to learn, grow, and thrive. Thank you for being an important part of what makes this community special. Your support truly makes a difference.
